Mixed children dying by gun violence with children dying in schools by gun violence..

One tweet is not news you can absorb for an entire day. :huh:

i found an article suggesting that the 7k includes all dead, including crime, accidents etc

that being said these idiots explicitely state otherwise here and its not the first time they are "mixing things up" and sometimes apologised later on
the post is still untouched by the way, an honest mistake would surely have been corrected, wouldnt it

but they fully realise that the vast majority will just believe anything

in case you are wondering why a certain german user here is so deranged and triggered when it comes to the firearm discussion, this is the kind of fake news he is swallowing all day long

this is what the public service broadcaster ZDF is spreading on their twitter
they claim that since tel:2012 70002012 7000[/URL] children died in school gun rampages :lol:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States#2010s
wiki might have a few missing, but i did a quick count and i am at 157 since 2010
lets say something is missing and there are ~175 victims, where did they get the remaining 6825 dead children? :rofl:

fake news at their finest

My guess would be accidental/suicides make up the 6.8k

yes and one could expect some diligence, but as i said the wording in german talks only school killings and its not a coincidence

(expecting you mean including adults) than per year, that's getting close, and only homicides with guns, not since 2012.

In a way your previous number advocates for more no gun zones, with the low number of deaths there.

7000 dead children per year in homicides only? must be a misunderstanding or do you have a source for that

ah yes, already edited that,
