This can't possibly be true. Propaganda?

Saw a commercial on YouTube that led me to this site:

Agree To Agree | Youth Gun Injuries Prevention

We all have a role in reducing gun injuries. Let's find common ground and work together to make a real impact. Join the conversation at agreetoagree.org

This just doesn't seem right at all. What's the best way to fact check this claim? Seems like some left-wing propaganda bullshit to me.

Inner city gang violence among the disadvantaged youth is almost exclusively to blame. And it makes sense, ever since 2020 truancy rates are through the roof as are urban youth crime statistics - this undoubtedly includes gun crime and gang activity. Plus there has been a recent trend of South American ganges going on deadly turf wars with American street gangs, often resulting in fatalities, these gangs are compromised mostly of children and teens.

That should be the first thing they say. I knew it seemed skewed. Thank you Dokra for an insightful reply.

Yeah, like here in the Bronx there are school shootings and playground shootings all the time and the news never covers it because it's all gang related. Sad reality. Also notice it's the leftist cities where guns are illegal where this happens most.

I would've thought accidents,drugs and suicide would be at the top but it does look like gun related death is at the top.
it depends on the state. In my state, guns are the leading cause of children and teens deaths followed by vehicular misadventures.

I'm just not sure I buy it 100%.

The statistic will apply to black kids in crack houses where guns are treated like a piece of jewelry.

Funny and true.

Suicides are a big chunk of these.

Good, hopefully none of those teenaged apes procreated before getting shot up

 

[BeHappy⚕️]

Suicide, Gang Violence and Wankey kids that shoot up schools because they won't do option A.
There's quite alot of weird statistics about modern youth though eh..
Maybe things are sort of glamorised these days, and because there's so many of us it's almost.. less "serious"..
Desensitised and normalised

I'm typing rubbish
