(13,889 posts)is in your equation of imaginary arguments of future negative consequences for children (a blatant emotional appeal) with the complaints of people about actual dead and injured children who have experienced actual rather than hypothetical suffering. We're talking not about imaginary potential victims of the future but the rather significant numbers of children who have experienced the real pain and horror of being shot with real bullets resulting in real injuries and real deaths.
these are not rhetorical arguments based on exaggerated but unprovable risks, these are actual casualties and deaths that need to be acted upon. We ban lawn darts and the sale of high-power magnets as toys, but apparently any kind of restriction on guns is intolerable regardless of how many actual deaths of children take place.
