Original Note:
Newsom misrepresents homicide via firearm as death via firearm. Different sources report different statistics. ~40% of adolescent firearm deaths are due to non-homicide (e.g., suicide). Adjusting for this, homicides become comparable to drug overdoses & are much lower. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2023/04/06/gun-deaths-among-us-kids-rose-50-percent-in-two-years/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/adolescent-health.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/child-health.htm
