Original Note:
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. The claim that firearms are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/child-health.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/adolescent-health.htm https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/ https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2022/06/07/fact-check-firearms-leading-cause-death-children/7529783001/
