The number one cause of deaths for children in the U.S. is firearms. The U.S. is unique in this. Most other countries have been able to figure it out and deal with it, and they do so through gun control.

Only if you don't count under 1s and you do count 18 and 19 year olds. Lying with stats at it's best.

You honestly believe that following in the footsteps of the rest of the developed world to reduce the deaths of children makes somebody an idiot or a bad person? That’s ridiculous.

Yes. Have you seen the rest of developed world?

Australia prohibitted fucking Muskets and now they banned Hentai (which is the government basically saying "You are not adults, drawings are for adults only"). They also can't figure out how to house their people, and they're going after Indigenous people. They've heavily curtailed freedom of movement, to the point a baby died because they couldn't get care. At one point, there were only 4 affordable places for rent in the entire country, and they decided to keep importing people (a byword for cheap labor).

Britain is going after knives now, and they convicted a guy over a joke (as in a joke that was spoken, and was clearly a joke, not even questionably a joke). They've heavily curtailed freedom of speech. The NHS is failing, and they keep importing more people (cheap workers, not doctors) further overloading the system. Not to mention their housing crisis.

Canada is facing similar problems, going after native Canadians, healthcare system overloaded, housing crisis, cheap labor pushing wages down.

I'm not saying America is perfect, but Lord Almighty are they having a hard time, and it's entirely self-inflicted. And lefties wonder why the right wing is on the rise.
