The risk of your child dying from a tonsillectomy being 1,000 times greater than the risk of being shot and killed at school over a year's time.

The parents who are worried sending their children to school for fear of being shot and killed should be 'frantic' if their child ever needs a tonsillectomy.

And the same parents should be much more concerned about their child being in the house with a gun in it. What's your point? It has nothing to do with tonsillectomies.

It goes back to danzig's initial statement 'she never heard of such a thing'.

I make the point that EVERYONE has heard of a child being shot in school despite it being 1,000 times more unlikely than hearing of someone dying from a tonsillectomy. Wonder why that is?

You bring up a gun in the home. Wonder what the odds of a child finding a gun and killing themselves or someone else is?

Or doesn't it matter because guns aren't PC?
