6500 deaths by firearm of kids 5-14 between 1999 and 2017.

So 6500/18=361 deaths per year...or...as you so eloquently put it..."nearly every day."

You forgot the part where a guy puts a gun to a little kid's head and pulls the trigger

Or how many of them were accidental or gang related. Nothing to see there.

The big difference, most are accidental shootings, or innocent bystander caught in a gang banger shoot out

This kid was 5, he was targeted by an adult male in a pre meditated fashion.

the only time MSM reports is if it fits their agenda:

Anti gun agenda they blow up the national media with school shootings, but they ignore the gang violence in Chicago, and the innocent kids caught in the crossfire. They ignore all of the kids killed as a result of the protest/ rioting. Doesn't help their agenda
You can't honestly say there is no media bias, that is what people get pissed about.
