      Firearms injuries are number one good sir.

      Ages 1–17: Firearms have been the leading cause of death for children and teens since 2020. In 2023, there were approximately 3,500 firearm-related deaths among children, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.

        False. That data was an outlier from covid. It’s car deaths again…on top of that drowning kills more kids than guns…but you don’t care about the deaths, you only care about how they died.

          I suppose if you don’t count fatalities, no one died.
