Florida has 6 child deaths since Newtown, leading the country. Tennessee is not far behind. Kids are far more likely to be killed by guns in parts of the country south of, say, the 40th parallel than north. In fact, all northwestern states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, etc. ) have no kids killed by guns since Newtown. 51 total, none in those states. Gotta be a reason for that. Makes me wonder…do Canadians ever kill their kids? Allow them to play with guns? Subject them to random gang violence? My guess, is…NO ---

I can’t find a citation for kid’s deaths by gun in Canada. So few that they don’t even tabulate them? Something like 175 total homicides by gun in the last reporting year, total, and the rate in Canadian cities is close to 1/20th of the US in total. ---

I’m glad that a couple headline writers also thought of my idea for a recent event headline: “So Long and Goodnight: My Chemical Romance breaks up.” (The first four words are song lyrics.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/appropriate-daily-headlines/653529.md?page=2)
