They don’t break it down too much furtherI would like to see those stats broken down by year. I bet 90% are 16 and over and have a juvenile criminal record. Basically young thugs. We have a violence problem, not a gun problem.
I think this is the problem. 40k a year killed by guns in USA. Half that is accidents and suicides. So it’s reasonable that a third are pre-adult.Well the headline says NC but the article references the US. Pretty typical of the media to do this.
Wish we could fine a reporter every time they give wrong, misleading, or without facts in their articles.
It's amazing how successful the media has been at framing the discussion as "guns killing people", instead of addressing who is killing whom with guns, and why. So successful that even gun owners slip into using the same phrasing.
More like 2/3I think this is the problem. 40k a year killed by guns in USA. Half that is accidents and suicides. So it’s reasonable that a third are pre-adult.
But the real trap here is the whole “gun violence” thing. Like you don’t care about rapes and assaults? It’s another case of the grabbers controlling the language.
This is just absurd:

And to top it all off he is now one of the 6000 number that gets bandied about to demonstrate how evil and dangerous guns are....
BINGOWell the headline says NC but the article references the US. Pretty typical of the media to do this.
This is just absurd:
Her 15 year old son in Durham and met up with some people to sell a gun. Apparently he was shot when the "buyers" who were also juveniles were trying to steal it from him. Now his mother is quoted complaining about how easy it is for juveniles to get guns
While my heart is sadden by the fact a mother had to bury her child. Her statement about it it’s too easy for underage kids to get guns has the undertones of I wasn’t involved enough in my child’s life."How are they getting these firearms? It's too easy for underage individuals to obtain a firearm. Because I didn't even know my son had obtained one," said Wells.
This is an awesome resourceIf anyone can blow massive holes in this bravo sierra it is researcher Dr. John Lott; my wife and I contribute to the Crime Prevention Research Center every chance we are able and I heartily encourage all law abiding firearms owners to do the same!
