Saturday Shooting Review

[Robb]

It was suggested I post this here, as it's more in this group's SOP: "Discuss gun politics, gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence."

Here is just some of the gun violence against children from the past week (3/20-3/270 that you should be aware of and which will hopefully motivate you to join the American Academy of Pediatrics and others who are advocating for ways to keep our kids safe:

• A 10 year-old boy was shot inside his home.

• Another 10 year-old boy was shot while on a walk.

• An 8 year-old boy was shot on his porch.

• A 5 year-old boy and a 1 year-old boy were among several shot in their home.

• A 7 year-old boy was shot at home.

• A 15 year-old boy was shot in a backyard.

• A 10 year-old boy was shot at a birthday party.

• A 2-year-old boy and two toddler girls were shot in their living room.

• A 4 year-old boy was shot at home.

• A 16 year-old girl was shot in an alley.

• A 15 year-old girl was shot in the street.

• Another 16 year-old girl was shot in the street.

Also this week, by way of follow-up: A man accused of shooting two teenage intruders at his home has been indicted on first-degree, premeditated murder charges in connection with the killings.

Here's to a better week.
