It would be "factually accurate" to label a subset of vehicle-vehicle collisions and vehicle-pedestrian collisions "iPhone related", if a driver or pedestrian was listening to music or using GPS on a iPhone at the time.
But that "iPhone relationship" is only relevant in a small number of cases, so it would be intellectually dishonest.
Firearms were available before the pandemic. Their availability did not increase during the pandemic. Firearms are not the relevant factor here.
Sticking a portion of homicide together with a portion of suicide based on the tool and calling them "gun deaths" is politically-motivated intellectual dishonesty.
