Guns are not the leading cause of death. Idiots behind the trigger are.

There are somewhere between 600,000 and a million+ abortions per year in the US (depending on the source), so maybe guns are really #2.

I wonder how high the number of kids killed with guns is if you subtract the gang shootings?

Those darn 19 year old children. How about this magic death data correlated for location, gender and race? I would be willing to bet its 15-19 year old black males in urban areas.

I'm surprised they didn't stretch it up to 25.

IMHO, once you reach the age of consent you are no longer a kid.

Once you reach puberty you are no longer a child.

Once you can walk you are no longer a baby.

More data you will never see. Hell, most of the crime stats at FBI site is 2019. But magically they can state this fact but cannot publish the raw data for 2+ years.

Overall, 4,368 children and adolescents up to the age of 19 died from firearms in 2020, a rate of 5.4 per 100,000 a dashboard by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed.

By comparison, there were 4,036 deaths linked to motor vehicles, the previous leading cause of death among this age group.

Guns are now the leading cause of death for American children

Firearms have surpassed motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of death among American youngsters, with official data showing a strong rise in gun-related homicides such as the killing of 19 children in a Texas school rampage.

Semantics. The real and only question is how do we make it stop while at the same time not treading on peoples rights?

Never saw a tool use itself. But you are right the real question is how to stop it before it happens. Maybe start making psychology classes mandatory in high school, then the psyc teacher has an opportunity to see everyone and can help identify issues before they get too far.
