7. The age range is ridiculous, and intentionally deceptive.

How can an article discussing pediatricians and advice like car seats involve purported "children" as old as 29!!!

The gun deaths are undoubtedly skewed MUCH higher with the actual ADULTS ages 18-29, and the reasons are far different than for actual children, no less truly young children, largely due to intentional crime or suicide rather than accidents related to matters like safe storage.

However, such deception is sadly to be expected when these physicians explicitly and quite knowingly rely on the Brady Campaign for their statistics. Such blatant activism is also the reason why Congress attached strict rules on CDC funding to ensure money is spent on actual scholarship, rather than simply provide subsidy to gun control organizations, and also why some states have implemented rules concerning physician speech with their patients concerning firearms.
