As part of his argument for gun control, Biden claimed that guns were the main cause of death for children in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cGuns are the #1 killer of kids in America. More than car accidents and more than cancer. We can\u2019t let that become just another statistic,\u201d<\/strong> Biden tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Much to Biden\u2019s chagrin, the Twitter Community Notes feature quickly sprang into action to point out just how outrageous and inaccurate Biden\u2019s claim was, instead showing that accidents are the leading cause of death for children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAccording to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents,\u201d<\/strong> the Community Note read.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the note also pointed out what it would take for Biden\u2019s claim to be true, and it would require quite a bit of factual manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>For Biden\u2019s claim to have any merit, it would mean that children under one, who are rarely the victims of gun violence, are excluded, and 18 and 19-year-olds, part of the primary demographic that suffers from gun violence, were counted as children.<\/p>\n<p>This, of course, is impossible, as infants are still considered children, and 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds are legally considered adults, meaning that their deaths are considered adult deaths.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America.<\/p>\n<p>More than car accidents and more than cancer.
