However, the chart above shows that a majority of the 2, 281 deaths come from teenagers ages 13-17 who, in 2020, accounted for a total of 1, 859 gun-related deaths. When you narrow the data down to just ages 0 to 12, guns aren’t even close to the leading cause of death, as the gun-related death total in 2020 then falls from 2, 281 to 422.

To be sure, 422 children dying tragically is far too many, but that figure should be taken in its proper context. For comparison, 640 kids in that same age group drowned in 2020. Other causes of death that exceeded gun-related injuries for that age range in 2020 include suffocation (1, 434) and car accidents (907).

Guns aren’t the leading killer of children under 13, nor are they even close to the top of the list.
