Children die in every country, no exception. And violence is certainly not a unique problem to the U.S.
Again, you call someone a fool for simply not agreeing with you.
You talk about "doing something", but I ask, what are you doing that I am not? It seems to me you are conflating having the 'correct' position with actually changing things.

I called people fools for letting children get shoot by military style guns and not immediately saying that they don't belong on our streets given our society.   Do you not agree with that?  If not, I think you are a fool.    This is not me trying to be offensive.  

Isn't the heart of the issue murder? Whatever the method, shouldn't the goal be to lessen it overall?
My point is that I find it curious why there seems to be this obsession with a particular way in which people are murdered, and it is presented as somehow indicating a rise in U.S. murders when in fact the exact opposite is true.
