Original Note:
It is true that, as published by NEJM, firearm fatalities surpassed motor vehicles as the leading cause of death for ages 1-19 in 2020. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmc2201761 But if you remove legal adults ages 18 and 19 to fit the definition of "children and adolescents," the statement is not true. https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D76;jsessionid=7C96C53913FB8620830722901218
