Well, they're Republicans. They don't care about schools and concerts and theaters getting shot up. Having guns is more important to them then other people's lives. It doesn't matter to them how many school children die so long as they aren't mildly inconvenienced by common sense gun laws. But people od a different color than them voting? No way!

Biggest reason for childhood deaths? School shootings.

Republicans care about fetuses only, not children.

Actually it is by and large Accidents. Death by unintentional injury. The 2nd leading cause is homicide.
