Original Note:
Cited stat is technically false and otherwise highly misleading, taken from one study that excluded children <1 and included adults 18–19. If either not done or different years used, result changes. Shooting deaths are dominated by late teens, consistent w/ gang involvement. https://crimeresearch.org/2023/05/looking-at-the-false-claim-that-firearms-are-the-leading-cause-of-deaths-for-children-or-teens/
