Yeah but if those children had guns to protect themselves from the guns then it would have been 0.
Checkmate libruls
Yes, but we refer to it as 14 a day, because 13 is bad luck.
How many of those were gang members under 18?
Depending on source, some were gang members over 18.
There are 74 million children aged 0-18 in the USA. Going by your numbers, that means in 2021 that 99.99999% of children in the USA were not harmed by guns.
I know your number is a hyperbole, the real percent given the numbers in the thread is ~99.994%, or 14999/15000 unharmed, which, most supporters wouldn't bat an eye at anyway
