Original Note:
Mr. Jeffries is mistaken. The leading cause of death for children (up to 19yrs) in the US is accidents, according to the CDC. According to the NEJM, only by adjusting the age from 1-24yrs do gun deaths become #1. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/ https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2200169 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/adolescent-health.htm
