FACT-CHECKING THE BRADY CAMPAIGN, at Reason. “In any case, note that the ‘children’ killed by firearms include older teenagers, among them 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds, a.k.a. ‘adults.’ Judging from the breakdown in 1998 (I can’t find comparable data for 1997), more than 80 percent of gun deaths for the under-20 group involve teenagers 15 or older. About 58 percent of the gun deaths that year were homicides, and these included drug dealers shot by other drug dealers, violent criminals shot by police, and other noninnocent nonchildren. About 33 percent of the gun deaths were suicides; 7 percent were accidents.”
