Original Note:
False. According to the CDC, gun violence is not the #1 killer of US children; “unintentional injury” is #1. Further, under CDC “unintentional injury” data, firearms are “a” leading cause - but no higher than the #5 cause of child death depending on age. https://www.cdc.gov/injury/features/child-injury/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7250a1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/2020-2021/LCODAge.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/pdfs/mm7250a1-H.pdf Age groups: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/fatal-leading
