CNN commentator Sally Kohn published an opinion column on Thursday claiming that guns need to be regulated just like “toys” because 10,000 kids are killed by guns every year.
The number is jarring — but it’s also false.
Shortly after posting her column online, radio host John Cardillo publicly called her out, providing her with FBI crime statistics from 2014.
The numbers show there were a total of 11,961 homicides, but only 1,085 victims under the age of 18. Cardillo also noted many of the homicides involving teens and guns are crime-related.
