FL 6 people including 4 children shot at Florida gun range

[KaaBoom]

Those would be ridiculous comparisons. Compare firearm deaths to children in the USA with any other country in the world (that is not at war) -- now that would be a useful comparison.

Why were there young children at a shooting range ?

So I reread the article from the opening post. The children were 8, 10, 14 and 15 iirc. When I hear "young children," 8 is kinda the higher range of "young," and I personally wouldn't refer to those kids as "young children." When I first read that I thought preschoolers.

I wouldn't take my 8 year old stepson shooting. Probably not even when he's ten. But 12 was the average age kids growing up in my town started going hunting. Opening day of hunting season was practically a holiday for my town.

When we look at accidental injuries and deaths involving actual children, the numbers are very low. When we expand that look to include homicides by gang-banger "teens" along with suicides, we do get a much bigger number. I have been talking about accidental injuries and deaths involving actual children, which seems to be the "child endangerment" that some people are so concerned about.

yes They are not actual human children They do not count The topic to me is stupidity
