NRA Video Cracks Back at Michael Bloomberg’s Misleading Super Bowl Gun
Control Ad

Michael “Mike” Bloomberg spent $10 million to air an ad during the Super
Bowl yesterday showing what a warm, relatable hoplophobe he is. The ad
highlighted the shooting death of a suspected 20-year-old gang member and
lied about distorted the statistics on the number of children who die in
firearms-related incidents every year.
As Reason points out . . .
According to to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
FactCheck.org notes, the average number of firearm-related deaths involving
Americans 17 or younger from 2013 through 2017 (the period used by Everytown
for Gun Safety) was about 1,500, roughly half the number cited by Bloomberg.
Furthermore, nearly two-fifths of those deaths were suicides, meaning the
number of minors killed each year by “gun violence,” as that term is usually
understood, is about 73 percent smaller than the figure cited in Bloomberg’s
ad.
That’s what happens when you include adults in the numbers when talking
about children’s deaths. Because gun control advocates have a persistent,
tenuous relationship with accurate data.

Everytown used a five year average of gun deaths between 0-19 years of age
in the CDC's Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System
(WISQARS) to come up with 2,887 gun deaths per year among that age group.

When you look at the same data but remove the adults you get 1,499 gun
deaths per year among children between 2013 and 2017. That's about 51% of
the number shown in Bloomberg's Super Bowl ad.

In response, the National Rifle Association dropped this video highlighting
average Americans who actually own and use firearms, people with who
Bloomberg fears and distrusts.

NRA members don't like hypocritical NYC billionaires. You want to know how
real Americans feel, Bloomberg? Watch this!
Your $10M #SuperBowl ad won't beat the American spirit. You want to take our

Maybe “Mike” should stick to kissing babies and petting dogs.
