nope, but since liberals like to use the same mantra of "if it will save 1 childs life, then it is worth it".
then it must be worth it as well to ban all cell phones or devices capable of being used to text.

after all, it is for the children.

No, if you want to have a principled argument...then what is the value of a child's life?

I showed the statistics in another thread... in 2010 roughly the same amount of children 0-14 died from drunk driving accidents as they did from gun deaths.

So, you cannot look at one control and ignore the other.

It's dishonest. So, the common denominator is children. Does the parent who lost a child from a drunk driving incident or a gun death feel more or less mournful from either cause? Or do they just want their child back?

Do you disagree that this is being wayyyy sensitized by the media?
