More from the shill.

When will this senseless fascination with water sports end? Nearly 6 times as many accidental drownings occur as compared to gun deaths. When will we begin to ban these killers from our society?

Because our real concern is eliminating 100% of the accidental deaths.......RIGHT? No matter where they are from, RIGHT?

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A toddler was pronounced dead Friday after he was pulled unresponsive from his family's pool in Grand Rapids.

The 22-month-old boy went missing during a family gathering in the 2600 block of Moerland Drive NW. Relatives called police about 6:25 p.m., at which point they believed the boy had been gone for an hour, police said.

The child was located in the backyard in-ground pool about 7 p.m. Authorities on scene performed CPR before the boy was transported by AMR to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.

Officials believe the death was an accidental cold water drowning.

Police do not yet know how the boy got outside or how long he may have been in the water.

Why must we have these chemicals around? We must end this senseless culture of having poisons around the home. 10X as many children die in accidental poisoning than from handguns. When will we eliminate this senseless slaughter of our children? The chemical companies are murdering our children.



A second child has died in a case of accidental poisoning in Fort McMurray.

Several media reports confirm a two-year-old toddler died after he was inadvertently exposed to phosphide gas that was released from pesticide pellets meant to kill bed bugs.

His death was announced at Thurday's funeral for his eight-month-old sister, who died in hospital Monday from the same poisoning incident, reports Global News.

Oh this horrible fascination with prescription drugs. How many have to die before we fix this slaughter in our country? We are out of control allowing our kids to play with loaded drug bottles. When will we hold the drug makers accountable for these murders?

Foundation for a drug free world: Prescription drug abuse causes the largest percentage of deaths from drug overdosing. Of the 22,400 drug overdose deaths in the US in 2005, opioid painkillers were the most commonly found drug, accounting for 38.2% of these deaths.

In 2005, 4.4 million teenagers (aged 12 to 17) in the US admitted to taking prescription painkillers, and 2.3 million took a prescription stimulant such as Ritalin. 2.2 million abused over-the-counter drugs such as cough syrup. The average age for first-time users is now 13 to 14.

"WE".......need to be more responsible and to ensure our kids are as safe as possible, if this means getting rid of guns, then do it.

In Au, guns of any description have been banned for years unless you have a valid reason Licensed hunter, law enforcement) hand guns are almost impossible to get hold of.......unless you are a criminal of course. These laws have reduced gun crime here to almost nil but we will never stamp it out entirely even though the punishment for having an illegal firearm or parts or ammo is jail.

We got sick of our children drowning in backyard pools so all pools now must have a childproof fence around it, this has reduced but not eliminated drownings due to people leaving pool gates open or country children drowning in dams or creeks but it certainly helps.

Dangerous chemicals including the garden variety are to be kept in locked containers, this also helps but has not prevented deaths due to curious kids or chemicals such a Crystal meth which is starting to be a big concern here.

Every country is different, no one is right and no one is wrong but we must all take responsibility.

Just my bit........
