Was there another school shooting or something?

An average of like 10-15 children die every day in US due to being shot. Sure there are more that survive but look like SpongeBob here.

"Children" in that stat includes gang members and suicides. Still bad things, but don't misrepresent what's going on.

How is counting dead children misrepresenting what is going on? Dead is dead. When I say I want fewer guns it is because I want fewer deaths, gang members and depressed kids included.

A 17 yo in a gang that is shooting at other gang people and gets shot dead is the same thing as a 10 yo bystander?
