[Salty]

In 2016, there were 20,360 deaths of people under the age of 19 in the U.S. Firearms were the second most common cause of death.

Hmmm- Motor vehicle causes 30% more deaths than firearms.
Do we hear all the cry's for more vehicle laws?

Motor vehicle crash..................4,074
Firearm-related injury................3,143
Malignant neoplasm..................1,853
Suffocation.................................1,430
Drowning........................................995
Drug overdose or poisoning..........982
Congenital anomalies.....................979
Heart disease...................................599
Fire or burns.....................................340
