Maybe not. Data wasn’t broken down by choice of weapon.
Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.
If I were to wager, I’d bet that accidents (majority of which are car related) would be the leading cause of death in children followed by cancer. I’d like to see what of the accidents were gun related/caused though. Also intentionaly caused deaths via gun violence broken down into suicides and homicides would be a insightful stat.
Something finally beat guns.

Jesus Christ, 659,041 kids had heart attacks in 2019!?! Or are you citing statistics that aren’t relevant to what’s being discussed in this thread?
