Half Truth or Fake News? PBS, biased again.

Data is correct, but...
Picture of AR15s with title about gun deaths, when AR15s are responsible for a tiny fraction.
Death rate, not balanced by total homicides/deaths (knifes, blunt, etc).
Mass shooting note about the effect, but then note about how silly it is to respond by arming teachers.
Then the total gun deaths, not adjusted for population.
Unsupported/misleading statement that guns are a major health problem from a Harvard professor.

Seems like all the data is correct. How can this be fake news?
