Cars aren't actually #1 for juvenile deaths in the US anymore

~~Not because there are any less car deaths,~~ they've just been passed up by guns at this juncture 😬

Edit: car deaths actually reduced by about half between 2000 and 2010, but the increase in firearm deaths is staggering: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/126304/cdc_126304_DS1.pdf
