Windy City Kid Posted Wednesday at 01:22 PM Posted Wednesday at 01:22 PM When they spout firearms are the #1 killer of children, they include 18 & 19 year olds in that statistic. 90%+ of those deaths occur in that age bracket. Wanna guess why? Quote

Wanna guess why? This statistic is an extreme warping of classification. Under tax law, those 18 and over can still be deducted on taxes "as minors" if those individuals are still supported by their parents and in school full-time. The shootings counted by the various organizations do not make this distinction. A gang drive-by on another gang is the same as a gang-banger in a shootout with police is the same as a future phd candidate shot in the classroom. All are tragic, not all are what the "archives" try to present them as. Edited Wednesday at 02:38 PM by John Kloehr 1 3 Quote

Cherry picking disassociated statistics and combining them to forward a false narrative is a favorite tactic of these , for lack of a better term, lying sonzabitches!! It’s like playing “WHACK A MOLE”!! You expose one lie and they tell three more before you can turn around!! 3 Quote
