As usual I don't know whether to bring this up or just ignore it. It is one of the headlines in the MSN.COM news page so it does reach a lot of people and it does contain facts I did not know.
While you could argue some of the above are correct I'd say they're misleading and sensationalistic.
There's more stuff there and, IMhO, worse than the ones I quoted above.

Numbers for children killed outside of school grounds are even more daunting, with nearly three times as many children killed on American land than soldiers murdered abroad. Guns killed approximately 180,000 adolescents from 1963 to 2015.
