WRAL Documentary: UnSafe: North Carolina kids dying from gun violence

In UnSafe: North Carolina Kids Dying from Gun Violence, WRAL Investigative Documentary Reporter Cristin Severance and Documentary Photojournalist Dwayne Myers shed light on the devastating impacts of gun violence through the deeply personal story of one family's loss.

So no, guns are not the leading cause of death for children, that study has more flaws that there are fleas on a stray.
 
Wral should probably go back to the "intro, body, conclusion" days and get that right before trying a documentary.
 
I actually watched the whole thing so I could comment on it.

First and foremost is my hope for the families involved to find peace, even though I doubt that is possible.

The very nature of a documentary is to influence without presenting the other side of an issue. The focus seems to be on safe storage, which is something I personally support. What the documentary doesn't tell me is:
What do you define as a kid? At one point they say 600ish kids, and later they say 500+ under the age of 18.
How many of these "kids" that were shot were in the process of committing a crime/involved in gang activity?
How many people in NC have been charged with violating safe storage laws?
They did a lot of blaming of people other than the trigger pullers. Grandpa never changed the code of his safe. 61% of stolen guns in Durham are stolen from unlocked cars. There might have been more examples that I'm not thinking of.

The incident they focused on was truly tragic, and I have no rebuttal against securing a firearm in a way that an 11 year old can't access it.
What I would contest is that the legal system doesn't treat this seriously. I would also suggest to stop spending funds on gun locks and instead provide safes. You will pass out fewer devices, but they will get more use. Lastly, set aside your hate of the NRA and bring Eddie the Eagle to the schools at early grades.
 
So the problem with "safe storage laws" is that they can and have already been abused wildly. I believe the infamous Heller case started with something like that in DC where you could not have an operable gun in the house because "safety".
 
I watched the whole thing. Awful story, to be sure.

The most relevant piece of information to the whole thing, which they never mentioned once:

North Carolina already has a safe storage law with penalties for allowing minors unsupervised access to an unsecured firearm. When you buy a new gun at a shop, you literally have to sign a piece of paper saying you know about the law.

The documentary makes vague calls for "changes to the law", supposedly to make people store their guns safely away from kids, as if that isn't already the law.

We all know what they really want: "universal safe storage" laws punishing victims of crime (people who have guns stolen from their cars or houses).

Pretty sure that's what they initially did in England, followed by "oh, well, we actually need to give the cops blanket permission to enter your home and check on the safe storage", followed by "actually, we still don't trust you, so now you have to store your handguns at the police station", and then finally "JK, handguns are banned!"
 
It’s a slope, no doubt. The judicial system has made a choice that there are certain protected individuals that they don’t really want to charge with firearm crimes. This is a nice backdoor way into only charging certain people without having to imprison felons in possession of a firearm.
 
The tragic death of 8-year-old Jenesis Dockery, who died four days shy of her 9th birthday after getting shot by her babysitter’s 11 year-old-son, shows just how many lives are destroyed by gun violence.

shows just how many lives are destroyed by gun violence.
No it shows stupidity and stupid kills a lot more humans that a gun.

Just like what the OP said :

more anti gun drivel​

 
there is no such thing as gun violence. only people violence. the left makes up words and phrases to demonize firearms, the second amendment, and law-abiding citizens,
while at the same time letting the unnamed people running the government commit major crimes.
 
The blogger Area Ocho dot com, a public health nurse, had a recent piece showing gun deaths a being a relatively rare cause of deaths among teens, including gang bangers.

We could always turn our kids over to the Government , then there won’t be any minors in the house to secure your guns from. 🤯. That would also make it easier for them to brainwash.
