Something finally beat guns.
Disease has always been a bigger cause of death in the US than guns.
Stay on topic, we're talking about children here.
If I were to wager, I'd bet that accidents (majority of which are car related) would be the leading cause of death in children followed by cancer. I'd like to see what of the accidents were gun related/caused though. Also intentionaly caused deaths via gun violence broken down into suicides and homicides would be a insightful stat.
