The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children is accurate if it excludes infants under 1 year old and extends the age range to include 18- and 19-year-olds, according to a fact check by Snopes.<\/p>\n<p>If those two parameters are eliminated, the statistics tell a different story.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because infants have a different set of age-specific causes of death that are unique to the age group, such as birth defects, preterm birth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breakthrough-researchers-identify-possible-cause-of-deadly-sids-infants-disease\/\" title=\"Breakthrough: Researchers Identify Possible Cause Of Deadly SIDS Infants\u2019 Disease\">sudden infant death syndrome<\/a>, pregnancy complications, and others, according to the CDC. Additionally, teenagers aged 18 and 19 have their own unique set of causes of death that could alter the result, including vehicle-related injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Greene is known as one of Capitol Hill\u2019s staunchest gun rights supporters, and the Georgia Republican has repeatedly called for access to firearms rather than increased gun restrictions.
