    “Children” in that stat includes gang members and suicides. Still bad things, but don’t misrepresent what’s going on.

      How is counting dead children misrepresenting what is going on? Dead is dead. When I say I want fewer guns it is because I want fewer deaths, gang members and depressed kids included.

        A 17 yo in a gang that is shooting at other gang people and gets shot dead is the same thing as a 10 yo bystander?
