Half the truth (when it suits the cause)

 I saw a 'trans activist' on the View proclaim that 'guns are the leading cause of death for children'.  The claim seemed remarkable.

Subsequently I found a 'fact checker' news spot that supported the claim:

So, there you have it.  A government study and a TV station verifying the claim. 

And that's all there is to say ... right?

Ahhh, no.  How about looking at the appendix to the study to see if there's any explanations.  

Oh yeah.  Kids (up to 19 years old).

Which kids?

Drawl your own conclusion.

NYPD data suggests what some of those 'kids' were doing when they met their end.

And, as for suicide, Japan has a higher suicide rate than the US.  No guns.  Go figure.   Want to take a bite out of suicides?  How 'bout ending the mutilation of children.  

"Transgender subjects were roughly 20 times more likely to have committed suicide within 10 years of their operations."
