ANYTHING that makes owning firearms look bad, they'll push,

no matter how much bullshit is involved.
Gun-related deaths among children in the U.S. reached a distressing peak in 2021, claiming 4,752 young lives and surpassing the record total seen during the first year of the pandemic, a new analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data found.

The alarming statistic clearly indicated that America’s gun violence epidemic has gotten worse, experts say.


Uh huh. Now we have
More than 80% of the gun deaths were among males 19 and younger. Black male children were more likely to die from homicide. White males 19 and younger were more likely to kill themselves with guns.
First, I wonder how high they'll go to count teenagers as 'children'? And how many of those deaths are among or because of gangbangers?

..."The most likely reason that your child will die in this country is at the hands of a firearm. That’s not acceptable.”
Please, someone ask him how 'at the hands of a firearm' works.  And point out that the 'most likely reason' crap has been disproved.

Black children continue to be disproportionately affected. Gee, I wonder why? Could that 'defund the police, we don't want them in these neighborhoods' stuff mayhap have anything to do with it"

And on, and on.  Same kind of stuff they've been pushing for years.  Including this:
“Although we can say this is an issue that might not affect everybody, it really does,” he said. “If you look at the spikes in gun injuries, it’s hitting all communities. It doesn’t matter where you live.”
Bullshit.  If it doesn't matter where you live, there wouldn't be those disproportionate deaths in black communities.  And there wouldn't be so much upset from the idiot activists about the idea of getting more cops in the most troubled places and letting them ACTUALLY DO THE JOB, and prosecutors ACTUALLY PUTTING VIOLENT CRIMINALS IN JAIL.
