In the previous eight years, 6,100 people had been sent to the emergency room due to lawn darts in the U.S. Out of that total, 81% were 15 or younger, and half of them were 10 or younger. On the week the commission voted to ban the product, an 11-year-old girl in Tennessee was hit by a lawn dart and sent into a coma
we used to have a set of these around when I was in second or third grade
Banned after 3 deaths.
30,000 gun related deaths a year in the US.
Weird, huh…?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_darts
which I’m not necessarily arguing against your point that guns are much worse than these toys, but the stat of “3” has 700 injuries a year behind it.
Yeah I was just quoting deaths.
If you add injuries to those gun stats, they get up there too….
this bullshit again
The numbers don’t lie.
Or are deaths from “toys” somehow more important than deaths from guns….?
yes , because toys are marketed directly to kids and a child’s life is worth 10 adults on the american exchange system
