    Counterpoint: parents should be given tickets for endangering their child’s lives by giving them something that can cause death or greivous injury - calling it a “toy” that goes 30+ mph ridden on public roads with no training, license, or obeying traffic signs and signals.

    One of these days it’s going to be a lawmakers kid that is going to get turned into a meat crayon. Then we might just get some reasonable legislation. I hate that it pretty much has to come down to many children dying for meaningful change to take place.

      USA reports 11 deaths under 16 and Canada 10

      So 21 deaths in what 15 or 20 years these have been around

      Probably around 1 per year

      How many kids have been killed by drug users or drug dealers… probably more than 1 per Year

      USA alone has so many drug related shootings they probably can’t even reliably track how many kids get shot
