sirsinsalot says <">That's not even getting to the fact that the leading cause of death in children and teenagers is guns[1] I can't really understand it.

No surprise, because the URL contradicts what you say. If omitting certain age ranges is your idea of the truth, please say so up front.

> Rockefeller and Johns Hopkins researchers said that when analyzing the leading causes of death among "children," infants are typically not included because of certain fatal conditions unique to children under a year old.

Yes OK, excluding those under a year old. So guns are the leading cause of death in America for those between 1 and 18 years old.

Is that OK now? Defensible now? Did that undermine my entire point? Or are you nit picking to detract from the toxic state of the country?
