Kamala Harris Reiterates False Claim That Gun Violence No. 1 Killer of Children Day After Chiefs Shooting
Breitbart ^ | 02/15/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 02/15/2024 1:01:17 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On February 15, 2024, the day after the Kansas City Chiefs’ parade shooting, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated the false claim that gun violence is the No. 1 killer of children.

Harris used a post to X to say, “Gun violence is the number one cause of death for children of America—not some form of illness or car accidents.”

She made this same claim in July 2023, and Breitbart News fact-checked the claim, noting numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show firearm-related deaths for children aged 0-17 were 2,281 in 2020, while the number of motor vehicle deaths for the same ages was 2,503.

Moreover, according to CDC numbers, children are are 27 times more likely to die in an accidental car death than in an accidental gun death, and unintentional suffocation deaths are 10 times higher among children than accidental gun deaths.

Sobering thought: millions of voters believe Kamala and Biden and the media sycophants.

Heard in person at a restaurant a few months ago: “Finally there are people around with some brains who are finding out Donald Trump has been a criminal all along and did a lot of things he wasn’t charged for until now. About time.”

But with regard to gun violence, she will not talk about certain related issues, such as the use of guns by criminal gangs, or how so many of these so called children are teenage gang members, or a ghetto culture of violence.

The hoplophobes include gang-banger shootings of teenagers up to 19 as “child accidents”.

I wonder if she actually believes this stuff?

Abortion is by far the #1 killer of children, and Kamala thinks it’s just great.

“The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.”

You beat me to it.

And not only does she think it is great, she and her supporters think that murdering babies is a blessed sacrament, and it will be their primary campaign platform.

Typical. Democrats make up their own “facts.” You can tell when they are lying when their mouths are moving.

Funny. Also saw a proposal by Joe Manchin to have Romney on a ticket. He was serious.

We live in a nation infected with intellectual laziness and chosen stupidity.
