Original Note:
The claim that firearms are a leading cause of child death is inaccurate. The KFF source in the next tweet excludes children under 1 and includes young adults aged 18 & 19. According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children & adolescents. https://www.kff.org/global-health-policy/issue-brief/child-and-teen-firearm-mortality-in-the-u-s-and-peer-countries/#:~:text=young%20adults%20ages%2018%20and%2019 https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/#:~:text=The%20claim%20that,vehicle%2Drelated%20injuries. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/child-health.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/adolescent-health.htm https://twitter.com/LilaGraceRose/status/1673434330075652096?t=YppBMDmtSds51YXpHA0-rA&s=19
