Original Note:
The claim that guns were the leading cause of death for U.S. children is true only if the selected age range is 1-19, including 18-19 year old adults. Capping the age at 17 alters the result. Children aged 17 & under have a greater risk of dying of vehicle-related injuries. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/
