    It’s really a shame that some people can’t even have a reasonable discussion about public health issues without trolling and getting insulting. Separate even from talking about guns, I mean.

    Hey, you were the one that decided to dig into this rabbit hole full of bullshit by trying to make something out of nothing.  Stop trying to play the victim now.

    My kids don’t get proper care because they weren’t asked about firearms. That’s a good one lol.

    No, not getting proper care because of all the things I mentioned that you guys say you weren’t asked about - car seats, choking hazards, access to toxins. It’s hard to believe those things aren’t discussed in the usual well baby/child visits.

    Not playing the victim, just identifying what I see. And yes, I decided to discuss public health issues and pediatric care, which isn’t actually bullshit. Pretty much all developed nations engage in preventive health strategies.

    I have never had a pediatrician ask those questions.  Again, doctors are most likely going to evaluate the specific patients needs and provide extra education on those matters to ones that they are worried about.  Any other parents around here?  Do you get asked where you store poisons, medication, or whether or not you have a child seat when you go to the pediatrician? 

    Yes, if it's a doctor who I haven't met before and my kids are there for the appointment. I definitely have not been asked it every time if it's our normal doctor and clinic.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I have to be honest i really don't think it can happen but i'd do cart wheels if we could go one yr with out any school mass shootings but just the fact that we have to have this debate is sickening to me ....

    Considering over 90% of mass shootings occur in gun free zones unfortunately no.

    That stat is based on manipulated and controversial data based on a definition of "gun-free zones" that is not accepted by many. Just an FYI for others, in case they're new here and decide to take what you post at face value and not do their own research.

    You could also say the same thing about a “school shooting”.
    examples: two gangs shoot at each other after school hours on school grounds and they consider it a “school shooting”.
    suicide by firearm on school grounds when no students are present is considered a “school shooting”.

    Manipulated based on the definition of gun free zones?  These were FBI statistics.

    So is the President treasonous because the FBI is to be believed except for when it comes to gun stats?  Your side can't keep up with the excuses.

    "My side"? And what excuses? I was pointing out that the stat you posted is hotly debated. I couldn't care less where your number came from or who posted it. If you want to know why the stat is hotly debated, do your own research, just like everyone else should.
    FYI, I'm one of the people who said Trump wasn't treasonous with his comments. I think you need to figure out where people stand here instead of blindly chucking out defensive comments that don't apply to the people you're addressing.

    Except for those ones where the armed school security failed to prevent the attacks.
