Why does every article have to lead with a picture of Trump?

I suppose this one doesn't count because the girl was 4 or 5.

Young girl finds gun under pillow in Detroit, kills self

Well, guns are still safer than drugs.

I hope you don't believe that to the extent that you would bring pills to a gun fight.

They also say that more people are killed by cars than by guns. May not be true much longer.

These numbers are meaningless for making comparisons.
And I suspect the chart that NoCo posted is very inaccurate.

Hmmm. Just guessing here.

Is it because cars have another purpose, besides killing people?

I'm calling bullshit on that.

This story doesn't say so, but I believe the 3 year old accidentally shot himself.

Accidental gun discharge kills police officer's son

It does say, "A person called 911 at 8:38 a.m. to report a boy had shot himself."

Doesn't say much about the sensibilities of the American electorate (or some parents, for that matter).
