We hear the stories from the “Gun Death” fanatics. Somebody leaves a loaded gun in the home, and a child who doesn’t know how to safely handle it gets hurt. Think about that while you read this:
Two 13-year-old cousins have died after jumping into New York City’s Bronx River on Friday to cool off during a 79-degree day.
…Emergency responders arrived on the scene around 3:14pm, at which point the boys had been in the water for roughly 30 minutes.
One boy was removed at 3:37pm, followed by the other nearly an hour later.
Both were unconscious when they were pulled from the water. Villa died that day while Gavin initially improved at Children’s Center Montefiore Hospital.
However, by Sunday his conditioned worsened so much that his mother was preparing to take him off life support.
Well we can’t ban water, so how can we keep people who can’t swim from jumping into the drink?
While there are signs showing that swimming is prohibited in that part of the park, new boat docks have become a favorite gathering spot of the neighborhood’s children.
So a ban didn’t work? I’m SHOCKED!
Maybe the pro-gun argument is legit! Teach kids to know the dangers of guns and to respect them as such to reduce “gun death” even when the parents don’t own guns, and teach kids to swim so they don’t drown even when swimming is prohibited.
Seems common sense, but there isn’t much of that left these days!
