Original Note:
According to CDC data, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 year old 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/
