 This has been a favorite talking point from the Biden White House, writes my friend John Lott over at crimeresearch.org, the Crime Prevention Research Center. For both President Biden and Harris, continues to be that guns are the leading cause of death of children. Of course, the news media and the fact checkers push these claims. The problem is it's false. For those under the age of 18, vehicle deaths are consistently greater than those from firearms. For those under the age of 20, firearm deaths exceed vehicle deaths for 2021, 22, and 2020.
