Data doesn't support this claim. This tweet uses present tense (claiming guns "are" the leading cause of death in children), though the most recent available data is from 2021. The language also leaves the age range of the in-question demographic up for interpretation. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/
