Bicycles Accidents Kill More Children Than Guns, But You Don't See Calls to Ban Bikes
Opinion

Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- Did you know that there are more fatal accidents involving children and bicycles than there are involving children and guns?

It is documented in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) fatal injury database.

As you can see from the illustration, for the last 19 years, from 1999 to 2017, there were 2,467 children killed in fatal accidents involving bicycles, versus 1,994 children killed in fatal accidents involving a firearm.

"Unintentional Firearms Deaths", hmm, that sounds a bit strange but I'm sure the data here is sound and correct overall.
