Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

Your pool comment is simply untrue. Drownings are way down the list https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10042524/
Yes which shows 1 to 19. A 19 year old is not a child. More kids that are actual kids, drown than from firearm deaths.

They lump all gun deaths 1 to 19 into that bucket, which skews the numbers heavily. It’s literally the same shit right wing groups do to fuck with the numbers and make them look bad. Anti-gun groups do this specifically to make it seem like toddlers are being killed in droves. When in reality it’s gang violence from the top end of that age range. Which is an issue, but it’s not a gun issue, it’s a education, safety nets, jobs issue.
