CDC "data" also include under "child" homicides "children" up to the age of 21 (or is it now 25?). To the general public, they read "child deaths due to gun violence" and they see visions of kindergartners and first graders being gunned down by a nutcase at Sandy Hook Eelemtary School. They don't realize the number includes adult and near-adult gang bangers and chronic offenders who are killed by police in the line of duty.
Remember, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
