Toddler dies after being shot accidentally by 5-year-old brother

In 2019, firearm injuries surpassed motor vehicle collisions to become the leading cause of death for youth aged 0-19 years in the United States. Almost every single day a child is accidentally killed by a gun. From 2001 to 2019, there has been a 14% increase in the firearm injury mortality rate among youth in the United States, whereas there has been a 66% reduction in the MVC mortality rate. We mandate that children ride in car seats and that they wear helmets on bicycles, but Congress sits idly by and does nothing effective to protect children from gun violence.
