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.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/child-health.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/adolescent-health.htm https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2022/06/07/fact-check-firearms-leading-cause-death-children/7529783001/
