Guns have been the leading cause of death for kids and teenagers in the US since 2020. In 2021, guns accounted for nearly 19% of childhood deaths, roughly 3,600 kids died in gun-related incidents that year. According to KFF, firearms are not within the top four causes of childhood deaths in any other country but the US. There have been 130 mass shootings in the US so far this year, this is the highest number recorded at this point of the year since 2013. The recent school shooting in Nashville is the 16th school shooting of 2023 and the deadliest one since the shooting in Uvalde, Texas in 2022. According to a study by JAMA, child and teen mortality drastically increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost half of these deaths were caused by firearms.
