    You, cherry picking

    Less than 50 kids a year are killed in random school shootings

    Reality, from 2022

    Firearms were the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the United States for the third consecutive year, and homicides accounted for the majority of gun deaths among the age group, a new report found

      Yep. Age 15 to 17 is the majority of those deaths, and the majority of those are from gang violence…aka the murders you don’t care about, because you and everyone else points out school kids.

      Also that’s outdated. Cars are the number 1 cause of death in kids again. Only reason it was guns was because of covid and no one traveling.
