Jan 2016

74 accidental deaths were firearm related, 763 were drownings, 72 were due to falls, 266 were due to fire, 22 were related to machinery, 89 were from natural or environmental causes, 81 were due being struck by or against something, 1,196 were from suffocation and 2,336 were related to motor vehicles.

According to those numbers, it sure doesn't look like guns come in second.

Perhaps it's also misleading to call 17 year olds "children".

Perhaps. Perhaps 'misleading' continues to be the entire point.
