Original Note:
Factual but misleading. The total number of age 1-19 firearm deaths is 3,143 of which 1,102 (35%) are suicides. By comparison, suicides by suffocation are 1,110 and drowning is 995. The remaining 2,041 are homicides which are overwhelmingly teen-on-teen gang violence. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsr1804754
