Top two causes of under-18 death in the US are guns and cars.


I was speaking specifically of people getting shot for something like knocking on the door of the wrong house. That's a tiny minority of gun-related deaths and not something anyone really needs to worry about any more than they worry about getting in their car or crossing the street every day.


Those stats call “children” 19 years old and younger.

So all those 18 and 19 year old “children” gang bangers are included in the statistic.


And? Other countries don't have this problem.


Your response was irrelevant to my point, but ok.
