The fact-checkers on the website reacted negatively to President Joe Biden’s endorsement on Twitter of one of the left’s most cherished issues.
The President advocated for gun regulation and a ban on AR-15 models on Twitter on Friday, a position that has almost complete support in his party. Guns are the leading cause of child fatalities in the United States, according to Biden, who called for tighter regulations on firearms.

“Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America. More than car accidents and more than cancer. We can’t let that become just another statistic,” Biden tweeted.
Biden’s opinions were incorrect, as shown by the Twitter Community Notes. They successfully banded together to draw attention to the fact that accidents are the leading cause of death for youngsters.
“According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents,” the Community Note read.
The note also emphasized how much factual modification was necessary for Biden’s claim to be truthful.
For Biden’s claim to be credible, it must be implied that children under the age of one, who are rarely affected by gun violence, are not counted. Also included in the child category are 18 and 19-year-olds, who make up the main demographic group affected by gun violence.
It is not conceivable because infants are still considered minors while those between the ages of 18 and 19 are considered adults in law. Because of this, their demise is seen as an adult death.
It appears that the far-left used this strategy only to achieve political clout and that it is not grounded in real-world situations.

In other words, it’s a standard talking point from the left.
The Community Note offered a wide range of trustworthy sources to refute Biden’s false assertion in response to his allegation. These sources include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which claims that, contrary to Biden’s assertion, accidents rather than firearms are the main cause of death for children. Furthermore, without any data tampering, even Snopes reluctantly concedes that weapons are not the main cause of child mortality. The discussion on this crucial issue should be led by reliable facts rather than irrational claims.
Additionally, a number of people quickly commented to the tweet, bringing attention to a crucial truth that neither Biden nor the Community Notes mentioned: abortion is the main reason why children die.
The president needs to be made aware that abortion kills more children every day than gun violence does, which is a point that must be made emphatically. This is a true observation that needs to be acknowledged.
Biden’s support for the leading contributor to fatal occurrences in this group runs counter to his claimed concern for their welfare.
Remember: Despite the fact that Biden purports to be a Catholic, he steadfastly upholds his support for abortion.
Another ridiculous assertion by the Biden administration has been exposed as incorrect by people who pay close attention. This outrageous comment demonstrates the administration’s overall lack of credibility.
Biden and the left are avoiding the topic at hand because doing so would mean giving up on some of their most important goals. This suggests a problem with priorities that needs to be addressed openly.
However, the response to this tweet from the general public demonstrates that Americans no longer hold that belief.
