Google Jeb Bush posted:Huh. The numbers are still quite low, but looks like you're right, firearms seem to be involved in a plurality of child deaths, taking the lead somewhere in the last decade. I think one of the things that threw my dim recollection is that some of the stats file "accidents" as the leading cause, rather than breaking out "firearm related accidents" and making it a bit easier to sum up with homicides and suicides. just more proof imo that firearms are a public health problem It has been a big topic of discussion and area of advocacy in my field since these numbers were discussed more than a year ago. The most conveniently put together site from Google is this one which tells you how to use the CDC Wonder tool to recreate the query. For multiple years firearm deaths have overtaken loving heart disease, all other trauma, and cancer as the leading cause of death for children. It's just super depressing and I know how well received gun control topics are. Not to derail any further with this tangent discussion from someone's tongue in cheek comment.
