FACT CHECK: Biden Lies About Guns Killing More Kids Than Cars
Excerpt: The CDC buries the salient data in its appendix. It claims that the “increase was seen across most demographic characteristics”. Its own data however shows a massive increase among black teens and a fairly limited one among most other groups.
Nevertheless, in his gun control address, Biden pushed an even worse version of the same claim.
“According to new data just released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, guns are the number one killer of children in the United States of America. The number one killer. More than car accidents.”
Fairly few children are actually killed by guns.
Any statistical category that tops out at 19 years old obviously can’t be characterized as “children”. The majority of deaths in that category involve teenagers and gang activity.

I'm surprised the old coot can still read, let alone tell lies.
