U.S. children and teens are more likely to die because of guns than car crashes, drug overdoses and cancer.

    I’m not American, I’m Canadian. Talking about the statistics is important but holy fucking shit it’s depressing. Any more than 0 accidental deaths is too many.

      Got it. More depressing is that most of those gun deaths are not an accident.

      It’s something like 2%, the other 98% are people choosing to shoot other people.
