That's being generous. I believe the study that was going around at the time went up to 20 years old.
Yeah, they want to make it out like white kids are killing other kids at school every day; that's the picture they're trying to paint, through decades long narrative campaigns and obfuscation and misleading presentation of the facts. They won't mention that the vast majority of those deaths are not in schools, and that it's a gang culture and justice problem, not a gun problem. Ironically, if our justice system was as anti-black as they claim, or just worked in general, these problems largely wouldn't exist. If the system actually tried to keep violent criminals off the streets, such relatively high gun death numbers wouldn't be sustainable.
If it’s the same study they always reference, it also excluded children under 1 year old because then it skewed back to diseases and birth defects as the leading cause. In other words, to get to “leading cause of death” someone had to seriously fuck around with the numbers. And liberals just go and parrot it. But climate change. That’s totally real.
As the saying goes, "There's lies, damned lies, and statistics."
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that part! Yeah, they fudged it on both ends, then tried to represent it as though it was the kids in the middle when they were the least affected.
Exclude babies, include adults, refer to the group as children. Disgusting.
