"We have reached a public-health crisis where firearms are now the No. 1 killer of kids in America." — Former U.S. Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee

^ Why are you perpetuating a claim that has been debunked, once you acknowledge that 18-19 year-olds are adults?

"The claim that guns were the leading cause of death for U.S. children in 2020 and 2021 is true only if the selected age range is 1-19 years old. This range excludes infants under one year old, who have a unique risk of age-specific causes of death.

Similarly, capping the age range at 17, instead of 18 or 19, also alters the result, as children aged 17 and under have a greater risk of dying of vehicle-related injuries."

Why do you like your own posts? We know you like it, you wrote it.

It comes across as shady.

You keep posting screenshots of the Fox poll with the unconstitutional "LEGAL AGE 21 TO BUY ALL GUNS" and the preposterous "REQUIRE 30 DAY WAITING PERIOD."

But fail to let your readers know that the results of "gun polls" are easily skewed based on the way the questions posed are phrased.
