Let me guess. A 24 year-old is considered a "child" in this statistic.
The speaker, a woman, kept giving these unbelievable statistics regarding "children" and guns.
Finally, on courageous young woman stopped her and asked, "can you please define children".
The speaker said a child was a newborn to 21.
The audience literally collectively gasped.
The speaker tried to regain control but she lost all credibility.
After that, the audience did little more than whisper amongst themselves.
Gun control fanatics use any and every trick to inflate their numbers and hide the circumstances of "childrens" deaths (ie. gang and drug related).
Don't believe their numbers and ask them lots of questions.
Actually, a 147 year-old would be considered a "child" in this statistic, and an "American child being shot" is defined as any "child" who is wounded, or gets ill, for any reason and by any means when a firearm is within a 450-mile radius of the "child" in question.
Ya really gotta WORK them statistics, bro. Work em HARD!
