America: "We will arrest you if you let a child out unsupervised"
Also America "kids sit in front of the screen at home all day."
Also also America " if somebody accidentally runs over your child with a car they will get a 6 month license suspension"
Also also also America "We think crime is way up even though its at record lows and a leading cause of death here is automobile accidents"

  Shhh don't tell them, they need to cling to the notion that guns are the leading cause of death for kids age 0-19 even though that covid era study took place only in 5 cities known for their HUGE gang problems while less people were driving because of lockdowns. Their way they can scream about guns online for easy virtual treats, if they knew the truth they'd have to scream about cars which (outside of here) is a harder sell and they'll get less internet treats, nobody will even call them a good boy for having the correct opinion!
  
  Lol, I was literally discussing this in another thread.
  The child death rate from guns has gone down since the 90s but the death rate of kids to cars has gone way way down since the 90s to the point its dropped below gun deaths. Probably due to anything from increased work from home to increased traffic safety project funding since the late 2000s. Increased biking may even play a role.
  
  Well all violent crime in the US has been getting lower since '93, except a small uptick around 2016-2023ish (going back down now), and of course that does include children, and yes safety has helped there as well, but the specific study that I was referencing took place during covid in NYC, Philidelphia, LA, Chicago, and iirc Baltimore, and it included 18-19 yo "kids" who are legally adults, and actual kids that are sadly involved in gang activity surprisingly young but gets more violent around 13-16 (know/knew a good number of them, but never got involved myself.) It was never actually true that guns killed more kids than cars, if you take out the 18-19yos and do that same study in the same cities now without the lockdowns (which still gives guns the advantage because many of those cities actually have good public transportation thus decreasing car use in general, and those cities still have the aforementioned gang problems) you'd likely find that cars are in fact still the leading cause of death amongst actual kids.
  Tbh if the opioid epidemic couldn't unseat cars, nothing will without statistical manipulation.
