Original Note:
The claim relies on manipulation of data by including 18-19 year-olds adults as "children", excluding those under age one, and conflating suicide as "gun violence ". When the data is evaluated using actual children, ages 0-17, firearms is the #3 cause. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/06/gun-deaths-among-us-kids-rose-50-percent-in-two-years https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2802602?guestAccessKey=a55902a1-f7dc-407a-b252-4a5c204cf169 https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D158;jsessionid=63943AC0B45AD52893397A22A027
