Original Note:
This misleading statement is based on a Medical Study that excluded children younger than 1 year and added young adults from 19 up to 25yrs old to reach this statistic. When the normal “kids and adolescent” age of 0-18 yrs is used, guns are not the leading cause of death. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmc2201761 http://www.gunfacts.info/gun-policy-info/children-and-guns/ https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/are-firearms-the-leading-cause-of-death-in-children/
