So, the news here is that gun deaths are now the leading cause of death for teens (ages 13-19), but for kids 1-12, cars remain the leading cause of death in the US. Per https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/12/28/fact-check-many-more-children-die-from-road-violence-than-gun-violence/ https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/12/28/fact-check-many-more-... > Through age 12, more than 500 more U.S. kids died in vehicle crashes in 2020 than were killed with firearms.
