Found out today, Lawn mowers kill more people than mass public shooters each year.....

[2aguy]

I saw a column by Charles C.W. Cooke today...which is why this is in current events...and he made the point that lawn mowers kill 70 people every year.........

The only year where mass public shooters murdered more people than lawn mowers killed in accidents was 2017....where 110 people were murdered by mass public shooters......while lawn mowers murder more than 75 people every single year......

There is always a risk of over-attending to spectacular attacks, and we are beginning to do that here. By the time the clock strikes midnight, an average of 21 Americans will have been killed by drivers aged between 16 and 20. Tomorrow, on average, eleven teenagers will die because they were texting while driving. This year, around 70 people will be killed by lawnmowers.

Lawn Mower Accidents Rise This Time of Year | MU News Bureau

COLUMBIA, Mo. — It can travel at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour, and with little warning it can severely injure someone. That is how University of Missouri Extension safety expert Bill Casady describes a rock thrown from a lawn mower. Each year, more than more than 75,000 Americans are injured in lawn mowing accidents, and 10,000 of them are children.

“A projectile traveling at 150 to 250 miles per hour has great potential to tear the skin, and usually those injuries heal. However, an object could just as easily hit you in the face or directly in the eye, and that will put an eye out immediately,” Casady said.

Each year, more than 75 people die in lawn mower accidents.

Many lawn mowing accidents involve children, Casady said. He advises parents to not allow children under the age of 12 to use a push mower and to keep children under the age of 16 off riding lawn mowers.

Wow. With the many millions of lefties operating lawnmowers I thought the numbers would be much higher annually.

The obvious question is, can they be designed to be safer and still be inexpensive and available to those that want them? Lawnmowers too.

 

[2aguy]

The problem is the attempt to ban semi automatic civilian rifles....all 8 million AR-15s and the other 8 million or more other semi auto rifles, for a total number of deaths less than happen with the lawn mower.....

It makes no rational sense.......

 

[blastoff]

Great, just great.

Amen! I've been saying for years we need much stronger lawnmower control laws. And don't even get me started on assault lawnmowers!

Dear 2aguy cc: Timmy
But lawn mower deaths do not trigger others to mimick
this in the media for notoriety.

Dylan Roof wanted to start a race war.
The driver who used his car to kill Heather Heyer
was attacking a whole group.

So in both cases, the left wants to shut down the rightwing hype
they blame for instigating such attacks.

So that's why they focus on the guns, to say no to rightwing propaganda.

It's about the symbolism.

They don't want to incite more shootings because of the hype
and drama. But what Nikolas Cruz wanted out of the shooting
was to be recognized as a professional school shooter.

That's what they are trying to stop.

How do we do this?
Banning guns pours fuel on the fire and ups the ante.
it only glamorizes and publicizes the attention on guns even more.
And so do gun free zones advertise temptation to sick people
looking for maximum destruction and attention.

how do we focus on getting rid of that hype and sick response?

Again I pointed out the one cure I've found to deep criminal sickness
is Christian spiritual healing. This cultivates a positive healing process
not only in the person seeking help, but all relations and people around
that person.

So that is the best way I've found to dismantle and cure the negative
energy and sickness that builds up and goes into mass shootings/violence.

It solves the root cause and problems in all other cases of
abuse, addiction, and violent crimes with the same process,
of identifying the root cause of malevolence and curing those ills.

It changes the environment, relations, mentality and community
spirit around that root cause and creates positive relations and protection.

2aguy and Timmy
How can we get from a culture of division, bullying and retaliation
against opposing sides, to a culture of unified prevention and healing
of relations inside and out?

How do we get there from here?
by fighting? by outshouting and demonizing each other's beliefs or points.

How do we correct the problems we see from all sides
and cover every possible factor contributing to crime and violence
including the abuse of guns.

It only makes no sense if you think an accident with a tool designed to cut grass is the same as a crime or an accident with a tool designed to kill people.

Well this is one of the DUMBEST analogies I've seen in a while. I would like to know as a matter of comparison, when was the last time a LAWNMOWER jumped the
curb, rode into an elementary school and took out 26 LITTLE kids and their teachers in 7 minutes? I missed that story.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — It can travel at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour, and with little warning it can severely injure someone. That is how University of Missouri Extension safety expert Bill Casady describes a rock thrown from a lawn mower. Each year, more than more than 75,000 Americans are injured in lawn mowing accidents, and 10,000 of them are children.

“A projectile traveling at 150 to 250 miles per hour has great potential to tear the skin, and usually those injuries heal. However, an object could just as easily hit you in the face or directly in the eye, and that will put an eye out immediately,” Casady said.

Each year, more than 75 people die in lawn mower accidents.

Many lawn mowing accidents involve children, Casady said. He advises parents to not allow children under the age of 12 to use a push mower and to keep children under the age of 16 off riding lawn mowers.
