When committed with guns, they are firearms related deaths.
What about Drug overdoses?!
If we lose our Second Amendment rights (and I believe we will) it will be because of “young minority adults.”
And, no doubt more usage of the messaging guide for “firearms violence”:

Not sure if it’s been updated lately.
3% of the population, 50+% of the gun crimes.
Whoever could it be?
By lumping all gun-related deaths together, they imply guns are the cause.
But suicides and homicides have very different causes.
I would like to see the data broken out by 0-3, 4-7, 8-11, 11-15 and 15-19.
Each group is fairly unique - and lumping together under three y.o. with 18 y.o. gangbangers is certainly disingenuous.
In the article, legal adults 18 and 19 year olds, account for nearly half of the gun related deaths from 0-19.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
More 2nd Amendment related articles on FR's Bang List.
Anybody else notice the sudden increase in the use of the term âghost gunâ in news reports. Each time I see it used, especially without clarification, it is clearly for the purpose of pushing the anti-gun agenda. It is the same with using âautomaticâ rather than âsemiautomaticâ when describing firearms. While sometimes this is based on ignorance, more often not, it is to push the anti-gun agenda . . .

They are the unvaxxed, and Trumpers.
The media induced Covid panic no doubt pushed a lot of unstable people over the edge.
Actually the comparison is wrongly flawed as per actual impacting agent of death. The actual impact agent of death is a moving car, on purpose or accidental, the actual chassis or outer metal covering of the car itself. Howsomever, the actual agent of deaths in firearms scenarios is the bullet, not the firearm. The Firearm never moves at speed, never is isolated from human control, on purpose or [accidental may misfire on being dropped or mishandled] denoting purpose., never touches the victim. Ergo, the comparison is flawed by mistaking the whole for the part, a false argument. A moving car is like unto a giant moving bullet. A firearm is not a bullet. Ergo, according to the vehicle comparison, bullets should be banned, not firearms. This vehicle/firearm comparison claim would be thrown out in any court of law. You cannot compare apples picked from a tree and orange juice in a bottle. Whoever wrote this claim does not know basic logic and appears to be an idiot.
Correct.
