Gabby Giffords at Senate Hearing: Too Many Children Are Dying

[citation needed]

In remarks kicking off today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., made a defiant call for Congress to "be bold" and "act" on gun violence. 

"Too many children are dying," she said. "We must do something."

That's pretty much a truism as long as any children are dying.

I wonder what she would've said a century ago when the infant mortality rate was 30%.

The utopian denial of the facts of human suffering and death is the single greatest obstacle preventing us from continuing to chip away at the problems that have always plagued humanity.

No comment from them on the ~170 or so people 4-7 years old killed each year from child abuse or the ~1200 under the age of 11 in 2010.
