Original Note:
Guns are not the leading cause of death for children. This is a manipulated statistic, which purposely sets the age range from 1-19: “Congenital abnormalities are the leading cause of death in infants, and surpass the number of firearm deaths among all children up to age 18.” https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2022/06/07/fact-check-firearms-leading-cause-death-children/7529783001/
