In recent months, a 3-year-old in Florida died after shooting himself with a handgun. In California, a 3-year-old killed his 1-year-old sister with a handgun. A 2-year-old in Michigan died after finding an “unsecured firearm.” Just last week, a 6-year-old in Florida was fatally shot by a 9-year-old.

The usual responses.

Why can we not address the problems, rather than deny or divert the issue.

1 child's death is a tragedy. Hundreds are a statistic.

It doesn't fit their narrative so they don't want to address it.

ALL needless deaths are tragic. Regardless of methodology.

This article follows a continuing trend or propagandizing intentionally misleading statistics.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. The article does a great job of using statistics to lie.
