Reading comprehension, please. I'll once again repeat the statement which I quoted from the CDC...
Gun violence is in the top five causes of death for people
from ages 1 to 64.
Now tell me again how I got it wrong. What you listed as the top five, correctly by the way, are deaths for ALL AGES and that means as most Americans die after age 64 that those diseases are what cause deaths in the elderly.
See post 50, 57 and 61 for what I actually wrote as opposed to what you claim I wrote.
Thanks for not correcting me.
