According to a recent Pew analysis of CDC data, gun deaths among U.S. children and teens...

Yeah, but they use "teens" to mean everything up to 19, then try to lump it all back into "children." Gun deaths among actual children is still extremely low, they just fudge the statistics.

In March, a 20-something shooter fired 152 rounds at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, killing three children and three adults, before being killed by police. In April, a 20-something shooter killed six people at a Louisville, Kentucky, bank, before he, too, was killed by police.

Two interesting things here. Note only one of them has their gender mentioned. Huh, wonder why. Secondly, and more interestingly to me, they try to make them sound younger, for whatever reason. The "20-somethings" were 28 and 25.

...However, on my podcast, Plain English, he argued that Americans’ health (and access to health care) seems to be the most important factor.

Does the parentheses mean he didn't say that, and the author is putting words in his mouth? Also, I love the use of "he argued" when the article then goes on to agree with the data that poor health " accounts for more of our early mortality than guns, drugs, and cars combined." Still, gotta cast doubt by trying to make it sound vague. Tweaked statistics that back up your side? It's "studies show," "experts say," " analysis shows," "CDC data," etc. Someone brings data you don't like? "He argued."
