Quick 'n' dirty synopsis - 37 of those 43 were suicides; almost all of the others were felons, drug-dealers, etc.

The funny thing is that the CDC is no longer permitted to sponsor firearm-related research because of the egg they got on their face over that sham :smilelol5:
They also use gang on gang firearms deaths in which both the shooter and victim were 17 years, 11 months, and 29 days old as accidental "children" deaths. Those people are in possession of neither intellectual honesty nor shame.

In the late 1990's there was an "Epidemic" of children being killed "On the Job". This was because children under 18 that were engaged in their "Occupation" (drug dealing, prostitution, gang banging) were classified as being killed on the job.

Mine is hanging inside my garage. Anyone breaking in will have to open that door to get in the house. Not a perfect pattern, but hopefully enough for him to turn his butt around.
