Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children 1-18

Lower Township - Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children 1-18 surpassing deaths from vehicle accidents, according to the CDC. I always wonder what conservative parents think when they send their children off to school, the mall, etc., knowing that their kids chances to be killed or wounded by a gun is the No. 1 threat. Do you just chalk it up as "the price we pay for freedom" as many w2nd amendment/gun enthusiasts preach.
