  1. I found an article from a guy named "George Soros" he's a billionaire that's very political he's the one that controls "antifa"..He's like 92 years old he said that the school shootings will not stop until the United States gives all their guns to the government..So after reading that article that tells you right there he's paying people that are dysfunctional and probably giving them the guns to do these mass shootings..This guy was from Hungary during WWII and worked with the Nazis..Pure Evil..👿

  2. Ages 1-19 wow. What is the largest group having the deaths? Is it the 15-19? Why are 18 and 19 year old's in the study? Geographically where are these happening? Is it inner cities, low income areas? So many things conveniently left out of the story.

  3. Sorry, but you can't include 18 and 19 yr old as kids. These numbers are 98% gang related.

  4. 19 year old 'children' shooting eachother because of gangs in strict gun-control blue cities inflating statistics so you can lie and manipulate peoples' emotions.

  6. They lump 18-19 year old adults in with children and then they combine gun suicides with murders and call it all gun violence while at the same time they break accidents out into many different groups so car crashes becomes lower.

    At this point, you all have to know a lie is coming when they start the sentence with “according to the CDC”.

  7. As this cuntry wilngly becoms mor & mor ungodly, it's 2 b xpctd, civl war is ensuing . . .

  8. I would think abortion or infanticide would be the primary cause of death in most US children.

  9. Abortion is by far the leading cause of death in children

  10. Mass shootings happen every day in Black communities across America. The great majority of children who become victims of gun violence are from the same Black communities.

  11. Time to overthink if guns really are that helpful. Numbers don’t lie!!

  12. You're a bunch of scumbag lying assholes. Gun violence defined as one person shooting another on purpose is not the number one killer of children ages 1 to 19. Gun shootings are which includes accidental shootings, self-in, self-inflicted and accidents of others on children and also suicide. Those things make up the majority of the and their of the deaths and injuries and all age groups from guns and but y'all are purposefully and it's an old ploy lumping all that in and calling it gun violence trying to make people think that everybody's that those kids that are majority kids have died through mass shootings and stuff and you're just liars as a way to freak everybody out and try to get them behind. Banning guns which would have no effect on the kid. The protection of the kids going forward because the because they're getting guns that are in their household to commit suicide and accidentally shooting themselves and others. In fact, a lot of kids get their sorry parents guns and shoot the parents or their siblings or their friends. And there's laws already on the book about that. So but you're so. But this these liberal news media liars like this like you are all head up about gun control and wanting to take my gun rights and my guns away from me so that only the murderous police have them. So you're jinning up, lies and misinformation to make it seem like all the gun deaths of children or violent ones. And you use the term gun violence when a suicide isn't gun violence. It's a self-inflicted deadly wound. There was no violence, but you lump that in there because you're propagandist scumbags that would refuse to do your job instead. You're a mouthpiece for the oppressive state.

  13. When majority of us citizens urges the govt for gun control a small percentage of people are against of it just because they dont suffer the lose of their loved ones

  14. Gun violence in us is rising it seems like american population would soon be in crisis

  15. The premise is that the gun is the reason for the death. Which only a boot licking statist would desire to be true. Because the only acceptable end result of an establishment ruling class leftist and their boot licking followers is confiscation. What they’ll never realize is there is one common denominator with gun related violence that gives a clearer reason and answer to the problem. God. Every shooter has an absence of God in their lives. Return to Jesus Christ and the violence will stop.

  16. Those are staggering statistics, we're approximately up by 20 deaths than last year?
    If the sight of dismembered children
    en masse doesn't move the conscious I don't know if anything will.
    What's going on in America is not natural.

  17. MEDIA IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH BY PROMOTING HATE, VIOLENCE AND FAKE NEWS ….AND MOST IMPORTANT PARENTS , guns are just a tool that government tries to take away from us, we can't allow this to happen, ..I feel sorry for the people that was killed there by lost mind and brainwashed person. WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PARENTS OF THIS PEOPLE!!!

  18. People kill people. There are fundamental issues with the woke culture driving irrational behavior beginning with crime wave across cities with new gangs being formed, racist policies inflaming society, a southern border crisis allowing fentanyl to cross leading to 100K per year American deaths while enriching the cartels, promotion of gender dysphoria leading to high suicide rates, focus on identity politics and divisive rhetoric from a reckless president, and irresponsible fiscal spending driving 40-year high inflation producing increased stress for families.

  19. Complete absolute untrue guns are absolutely nowhere near the leading cause of death heck they aint even in the top 100 the leading cause of death in children has and always has been accidents next is mental illness 3rd obesity 4th neglect/bad parenting 5th physical related heath problems 6th cancer and so fourth guns dont even come up in the top 25

  20. More misleading BS from the CDC.

    They don't take into consideration that many of these deaths are gang-related shootings, some are suicides.
    But as far as just regular shootings or school shootings they rank way down at the bottom of the list.

    By the way isn't your name the CDC or the center for disease control why don't you deal with that and stop trying to manipulate data on guns.

    Also last I heard an 18 to 19 isn't a child anymore.

    Also if you look at data worldwide the United States ranks way down on the list when it comes to mass shootings

  21. What they don't tell you is this stat also includes accidental death, suicide, and gang related homicide.

  22. It's gang violence. CDC needs distinguish between 16-19 year olds. Or simply do it by age group.

  23. Same people that want to say 18 and 19 year olds are children want 16 year olds to vote.

  24. Key thing you didn't cover. Gang violence is the major cause of death from shootings in the 15 to 19 range. CDC has no discrimination between ages who die from shootings. If the present laws were being upheld as they should be, many of these incidents wouldn't take place.

  25. We need to take our world back. Bring back Love and Kindness and Compassion and Caring for one another.
    Bring back Trust and Friendships. Bring back God, Hugs,touching not this 6 feet away crap. Keep families together not divorcing at the drop of an argument. Keep famlies together,kids are getting ripped away from parents by cps because you can't disaplent your kids anymore. Where has Family Life went? People need to learn how to deal with Feelings,and Caring for each other not hating one another.
    Understanding and Helping each other.Hugging and Compassion for man kind.
    Look, There's nothing for our young kids to look forward to in life anymore!!!
    There's so much hate and hurt in our world. People have no compassion anymore for others. Big famlies are a thing of the past. People have no patients. Look even Our government is constantly fighting for all to see and hear on a daily basis. So our young people are listening and hearing all this fighting about race and government issues and boarders and our economy. Some famlies can't afford to feed there own famlies anymore. People cant afford vacations and trips and people are having to work overtime just to pay the bills. Cant afford medical so that goes undiagnosed.
    So these days our kids are raising themselves online. People are using drugs and alcohol trying to escape and hide their problems. Which is turning into a bigger problem. It's tough in this world right now. All you hear anymore is doom and gloom. It's on television and radio daily. Greed has taken over. Violent games,and television,evilness is open and excepted. Its no longer easy to understand and except that what started this world was, one man and one women! Now is confusing to be, he, they, it,and getting sued if you say it wrong or dont agree!!! It's sad . (I am not falling into that trap anymore and i dont want to hear it either. My grandkids will know its wrong.Do not bring anymore of that crap into this house.)

    (I Love you all I am not afraid to tell my family that everyday.)

    We have lost the
    "AMERICAN DREAM"
    There is no such thing anymore.

    People are just barely surviving these days. Sadly. We have forgotten that our younger generation is watching this unfold all day, everyday because of internet & AI Social Media. You can not escape it. We need to pay attention to what we are doing to the youngest generation.
    Sorry but not sorry people need to start telling the truth.
    God Be With Us,We Need You Now God
