More than 4,000 children and teenagers have been shot this year, according to data published by the Gun Violence Archive (GVA). At least 6,170 children and teenagers were shot in 2022, according to GVA.
I said even if it’s up to 17 it’s misleading. A lot of those 16, 17 year old shooting victims are gang members being shot in shoot outs. Which is a fundamentally different problem from a 9 year old being shot. And lumping those things together does a disservice.
Honestly it’s pretty disingenuous to lump children and teenagers together, especially if talking about all the way to 17 or even 19
Yeah the 16-19 made their fully informed choices to get shot! Oh wait Their numbers only goes to 17? So not 18 or 19 like you implied?
You’re a real piece of shit

well first you coulda just checked yourself.
second, why? a 16 year old shooting other 16 year olds are children killing, that is still a problem related to guns
Your whole comment is based on those two words doing a lot.
Good luck trying to convince people kids are in gangs. They won’t listen.
“17 year olds are old enough to die to gun violence”.
The last time I saw a difference between an 18-year-old, 17-year-old, a 16-year-old, and a child younger than that was when I was 18
