U.S. children and teens are more likely to die because of guns than car crashes, drug overdoses and cancer.

    They’re dead 18 year olds. If my 18 year old child died, I wouldn’t debate their age or the statistics.

    More than 1 accidental death is 1 too many.

      I’m not arguing that though. I totally agree that any loss of life is wrong.

      And the use of child in your context is different from the use of child in the context of this discussion.
