Good point, even though the numbers don’t check out.
There were 69 children killed this year. 813 billionaires in the US. It would take almost 12 years.
Edit: These are only the school shootings, not the all deaths of minors
Where did you get that number? John Hopkins is reporting 48,204 gun deaths for people aged 0-17 in 2022.
“There were 2,526 gun deaths in 2022 among 1- to 17-year-olds, averaging to nearly 7 per day.”
48,204 is total gun deaths.
These are both horrific figures and in no way am I intending to diminish either.
I noticed that finding a statistical breakdown is really difficult, so I went with a source I knew was reliable and still gave a number. Thank you for finding something more specific.

My mistake, I was only looking at the school shootings.
