Firearms now the leading cause of death for children in the US

[Mr.Badguy]

4,357 deaths of people aged 1-19 years old involving firearm accidents, homicide, or suicide makes it the leading cause of death for children in the United States. An increase of 42% over the past two decades.

I suspect right-wingers across the country would still rather try to intimidate drag queens than try to make that number go down.

What a sad statistic.

[Text Drivers are Killers]

That's a lie. Cars kill lots more kids than guns do.

What a sad statistic.

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

[Mr.Badguy]

That's a lie. Cars kill lots more kids than guns do.

Maybe once upon a time.

Keep an eye on your toddlers splashing in the pool. Drowning is the leading accidental cause of death for kids 1 to 4

Argument from randU fallacy. False authority fallacy. You are just quoting government manufactured numbers again, indirectly.

Not a statistic. A random number.

[Into the Night]

That's a lie. Cars kill lots more kids than guns do.

The report quoted makes use of a special pleading fallacy, with numbers coming from the CDC 'database' (in other words, manufactured numbers).

Lie. Argument from randU fallacy. False authority fallacy. Random numbers are not data.

They're lying. Anybody can say anything.

Treatment of childhood cancer is improving, cars are getting safer, people are getting more violent, liberal prosecutors are letting more people escape serious punishment. Who is surprised that gun deaths is now number one.

You say children, but your statistic includes 18 and 19 year olds, who are adults. Pretty common trick to pad the numbers, especially as most of those in that age range are gang violence deaths.

Take it to the War Zone.
