"Another year brings about another opportunity for gun control
activists and their media lackeys to manipulate CDC fatal injury data
to push a misleading factoid on children and firearms.

This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related
deaths among children ages 1-14. Step two, combine that relatively low
number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving
juveniles and young adults ages 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three,
present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages
1-19 or 1-24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each
day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to
advocate for pre-determined gun control policies."

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

The most brilliant propaganda technique will yield no success unless
one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly-- it must
confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.
