Original Note:
This claim is inaccurate. Standard practice identifies “children” as ages 1-17, and people 18 and older are adults. Gun deaths among children are 5% lower than vehicular deaths. The statistic cited by President Obama (and President Biden) includes people ages 1-24. https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/child-gun-deaths-car-deaths-data-rcna31617
