Firearms shoot themselves and target children? WowScale of the problem
- Firearm injuries became the #1 cause of death for ages 1–19 in the U.S.
- Thousands of children and teens die each year from gun-related injuries.
- The overall rate is about 5.9 deaths per 100,000 children (ages 1–19), though it varies widely by state.
Interestingly more kids die from car accidents. Guess we should ban cars.
