We have the resources to deal with childhood injuries and deaths from the only product sold in America specifically designed to kill human beings—now the leading cause of death in children.

:"And that's why Doug has to be so hush-hush. If his last name were made public, people would try to put him out of business and, perhaps, threaten to kill him. That's what happened to the last two gun dealers who tried to sell this gun."

The GOP gifted gun manufacturers with near-absolute immunity against product liability lawsuits, so manufacturers have zero incentive to sell safer weapons. Every driver was required to prove knowledge of how to safely drive, with both a written and a real-life driving test. Think about it: if Adam Lanza had murdered those kids at Sandy Hook by mowing them down in the street with his mom's SUV, their families would have gotten $1 million each from Geico . But because he killed them with a gun, they got nothing; even survivors of gun shootings and"accidents" get nothing for medical bills.

One of the main reasons fewer children are dying in car accidents now than a decade or two ago is that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been compiling statistics for decades and has repeatedly identified safety flaws in particular vehicles or the way they're used.
