@SW-User leading causes of death for those under 18 are auto accidents, drug overdose, and drowning; gun related deaths are insignificant by comparison.
If it's really about "saving the kids", perhaps we should ban distracted driving (cell phone usage and loud music account for majority of teenager dwi/dui crashes), drugs, and swimming pools... đ€
when leftists cite gun death statistics, they conveniently leave out the fact that 75% of deaths are self inflicted/suicides as a result of depression and/or mental illness (how many of those are due to gender dysphoria, overmedication, and chronic recreational drug use I wonder?)
Firearms aren't a cause, they're an effect of a much more dire cause that's largely ignored. And it doesn't help matters when a biased media sensationalizes any story involving a firearm, to which, predictably, the ignorant masses respond emotionally, and remain oblivious to any rational/logical explanation.
