So let’s parse out your bullshit.
A. You can’t substantiate your claim that most kids who are killed by guns are gang members.
B. You seem to think that any kid killed by guns that is over 16 “doesn’t count” somehow. I guarantor those kids and their parents and family/ friends they “count” very much.
C. Yes suicides count. Suicide attempts by gun are almost always successful. And those deaths hurt the victims and their families greatly
Yeah...here......this is why I continue to engage morons like you.....I get to find more information on various topics...
Unlike homi- cides of children under age 12, relatively few homicides of teenagers (9 percent) are committed by family members (figure 8).4 The percentage of homicide victims mur- dered by other youth is much larger for teenagers (figure 9) than for victims younger than 12. Nonetheless, two-thirds of teenage homicide victims are killed by adults. The murderers of teenagers are pre- dominantly young (figure 9), but only a minority are younger than 18.
-----
expansion of gang activity, spread of crack cocaine and drug market competition,
-----
Some of the increase in teens’ gun use during that period may have been connect- ed to the drug trade and a perceived need to protect valuable drugs and money. The cycle of gun use accelerated as additional youth acquired guns to protect them- selves from other armed youth.
------
that gangs and drugs remained a part of many killings of teens (gangs in 29 percent and drugs in 6 percent of homicides) (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1997).
