“teens” has been a news media code word for black for nearly 20 years now.
It has also been used in anti-gun propaganda with "statistics" such as: "guns are the leading cause of death of children and teens".
The "teens" include 18 and 19 year old adult gang-bangers and street criminals. Take out the 18 and 19 year old "children" and firearms related deaths are not even in the top 10.
