Gun violence recently surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for American children.
Childhood’s Greatest Danger:The Data on Kids and Gun Violence
"What is clear is that the United States is an extreme outlier when it comes to gun fatalities among children.

Gosh, I wonder why that is.
