"do you have a citation for that statistic about 50% of gun deaths are people shooting themselves?"
It's more like 60-65%.
Some people are okay with that, just like some people are okay with guns being the leading cause of death for children.
Cancer sucks too, and they cut pediatric cancer research, so it's not like they object to children dying.
So yeah, it sucks, I guess that guns are the leading cause of death for children. But you have to look at the big picture.
It kills far more black children than white children.
And that's good.
Huh?
