All deaths are still reported plus it seems I have heard anger from those on your side when a child is shot and it is called an accident and not a homicide because someone needs to be blamed, which is why I responded to the OP.
As to marketing could you provide an example, I am not sure where you are going.
Also if I made the pink gun statement I would have been alerted for being insensitive.
