What is the No 1 killer of college-age people in US? Data says gun violence

Firearms are the primary cause of death for young adults aged 18 to 25 in the U.S., with recent incidents sparking calls for gun control. An advocacy group highlighted this statistic after a mass shooting at Florida State University, urging action despite experts confirming the accuracy of the data from CDC and study sources. Experts note that while firearms are a leading mechanism of injury mortality, most deaths by firearm fall under homicide rather than suicide, emphasizing the need for comprehensive gun safety measures.
