Gun-related deaths of US children are rising at âalarmingâ rate, study reveals

Data shows firearm fatalities are leading cause of accidental death in children, while poisonings have also risen in past decade

www.theguardian.com

A new study by researchers at Boston Children’s hospital found children’s gun-related deaths have surged over the past decade, increasing by 87%.

This is heartening news and a sure sign that real Americans are exercising their GOD GIVEN RIGHTS . The work of the NRA heroes and their bought and paid for politicians is starting to bear fruit.

Some commies, as they cradle their dead infant, may whine about this but who said that freedom was eas ? Every other country in the world is jealous of US gun freedoms.

Omlettes and eggs people.

It must be a one-legged faggot thing.

The same people creating and citing those bullshit studies are proud to send money to Ukraine to keep those gun related death numbers rocketing.

And that is another lie......this is why we know that nothing you say about the gun issues will be the truth....

Refuting the Left's Favorite Lie: No, Guns Don't Kill More Children Than Cars - The Truth About Guns

As this CNN article discussed “children and teens,” consider the data on children – ages 0-12. For this cohort, firearm-related injuries are not the leading causes of death and are not higher than motor vehicle deaths. The number of motor vehicle deaths in this age group is more than double that of firearms-related deaths. The number of motor vehicle deaths in the 0-14 age group is more than 50-percent higher than firearm-related deaths. Moreover, when examining the cohort ages 0-17, motor vehicle deaths are still higher than firearm-related deaths.
This shifts when examining the cohort ages 15 to 19. Over 80-percent of the firearm-related deaths that occur in the 0-19 age group happen among the juveniles and young adults ages 15-19. This disparity shouldn’t be surprising.
The 15 to 19 cohort is far more often engaged in the type of street crime that can give rise to firearm-related violence and that many jurisdictions have decided to address in a more lenient manner in recent years. The conflation of this age group with young children is even more absurd when one considers that in the vast majority of jurisdictions those 15 and older can be prosecuted as adults.
=======
Racial and ethnic differences in gun deaths among kids are stark. In 2021, 46% of all gun deaths among children and teens involved Black victims, even though only 14% of the U.S. under-18 population that year was Black. Much smaller shares of gun deaths among children and teens in 2021 involved White (32%), Hispanic (17%) and Asian (1%) victims.
------
Looked at another way, Black children and teens were roughly five times as likely as their White counterparts to die from gunfire in 2021. There were 11.8 gun deaths per 100,000 Black children and teens that year, compared with 2.3 gun deaths per 100,000 White children and teens. The gun death rate among Hispanic children and teens was also 2.3 deaths per 100,000 in 2021, while it was lower among Asian children and teens (0.9 per 100,000).

There are also major racial and ethnic differences in the types of gun deaths involving children and teens. In 2021, a large majority of gun deaths involving Black children and teens (84%) were homicides, while 9% were suicides. Among White children and teens, by contrast, the majority of gun deaths (66%) were suicides, while a much smaller share (24%) were homicides.

The National Gang Center (NGC), a function of the federal government, tells us that in recent years, between 35 and 41% of street gang members are under age 18. They also note that street gang recruitment begins at age 14, when the social effects of puberty take control (as well as early onset testosterone poisoning).



Ponder that: criminology separates teens from traditional children due to changing behaviors and capacities for risk. For guns, those demarcations should be enforced as well.



The CDC table above showed that for ages 0–14, guns were not a major risk. Hence, the inaccurate claim that “guns are the leading cause of death for children” includes teens, which means it has to include teenage street gang members.



Given what the NGC says about entry into street gangs (age 14), the percentages of gang members that are teens (minimum 35%), and that American street gangs are stupendously violent, you would expect to see gun homicides rise steeply in the teen years.



And it does. Factor in that street gangs are largely metropolitan and that gun play between black street gangs is the worst of gang violence, and the rest of this chart makes even more sense.



Guns Not Leading Cause of Child Deaths | Gun Facts

First of all, the number of firearm deaths for school-age children drops quite a bit when you do not include 18-year-olds.
---
Removing 18-year-olds would drop the gun death number to 28,559 — just slightly fewer than the total for the military and police.
----

In fact, 17- and 18-year-olds make up almost 56 percent of the gun deaths of school-age children. The numbers also drop significantly — 60 percent — if suicides are removed.
---
We are also wary when a single change in the data set — from age 18 to 17 — reduces the number enough that the statistic is no longer correct.

And conservatives respond with lies and fearmongering about guns being ‘banned’ and ‘confiscated’ rather then offering viable solutions.

We have offered actual solutions every time you assholes bring up these lies. The problem for you? Our solutions do not include banning or confiscating guns...so therefore, you have no interest in the actual solutions to the issues.

Describe a 'gun-related' death. Possibly a criminal with an ILLEGAL firearm shooting another criminal and the kid is shot by accident. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens is NOT the solution. Getting rid of Democrat controlled shit holes and prosecutors who don't prosecute crime is the solution. Yet, what he have are Democrats screaming for defunding law enforcement. WTF do you expect would happen?

Not quite.......the anti-gun extremist definition of "Children," includes 18-19 year olds, and 15 year old hardened gang bangers who shoot each other over drug turf, and social media insults....

 

[Burgermeister]

All you have to do is pick up a Chicago newspaper to understand that kids (some of those kids are hardened criminals) are getting shot. As usual, the left completely ignores the actual problem, which is crime and the culture of crime, and uses it as an opportunity to try and create more legislation that removes rights from law abiding citizens.
