Original Note:
The widespread talking point that guns are "the leading cause of death among children" draws from CDC data that includes 18- and 19-year-olds. Per that same data, vehicle-related injuries were the #1 cause of death for legal children (minors aged 1-17). https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/
