And let's say that none of the other 26 countries had a similar or corresponding reduction. I'll round the numbers to make the math easier. Half the numerator. Same denominator. Same list of comparison countries.
That would mean that the US now has only six times the firearm related childhood death rate as the nearest other 26 industrialized countries, combined.
And to be clear, you don't think this is an issue, but you will leave it to readers to decide for themselves or not.
OK.
