Everytown's Report On Juvenile Shootings
Chock-Full Of Errors, Propaganda

Children unintentionally shot and killed more than 157 people last year and wounded more than 270, or so Everytown for Gun Safety would have you believe. NBC News was the first media outlet to lap up this fake-news story.

"The children who pulled the trigger were most often teenagers ages 14 to 17 or children ages 5 and under, according to Everytown's data, which is compiled from media reports," the NBC News story claims.

Therein lies the problem: Everytown's data is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. It is so chock-full of errors that using it to draw any conclusion would become a study in futility. It is pure GIGO – Garbage In, Garbage Out.
