Nowhere have I said that 120000 under fives have been shot dead - that figure refers to minors. Minors are those under the age of majority.In this country it is 16, in the US I believe it is 18. As far as figures are concerned they are official US government figures - some from the FBI,some from other government bodies.I really think you should stop trying to defend the indefensible and admit that the death rate from guns is an affront to a civilised country - why does this discussion exist?
The last comment on this subject I will make is that 45% of young male gun deaths are of black males who comprise 15% of the population - this also seems to be the case in the UK where the percentage of gun deaths in the black population far exceeds the percentage in society.This is not a racist statement,merely a statement of fact.
