Ironically this is exactly what OP did but in reverse.
Someone said gun deaths are the number one killer of kids. OP said “no accidents are”. Then I showed OP the numbers that show that car accidents and gun deaths are about equal as the two sources of killers of kids.
So in case this is too hard for you to follow: some years gun accidents are the number one killers of kids, some years car accidents are.
Do you understand now? Guns are the #1 or 2 killers of kids.

Your link is not about children so of course it’s dominated by homicides and suicides.
Since around 2017 accidental children deaths from guns have been comparable to car accidents: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmc2201761
The main difference is that cars are not made for killing, they’re made for transportation. Guns are made for killing. Thousands of children die every year so grown men don’t have to be scared of noises at night.

Gun deaths for kids are usually accidents.

Based on the article it sounds like it’s not twilio doing that but customers using their infrastructure?

Which is why they take in plenty of fed money sponsored by coastal states. If they decide to use it to own the libs or pay celebrities instead of investing in infrastructure that’s a local government problem.

I only mentioned car accidents because they’re the other major killer.
Here’s what you’re missing:
someone said “guns are the #1 killers are kids”
the guy I replied to said “no accidents are”
what I’m pointing out is that gun deaths are accidents too for the most parts for kids so saying “accidents are the top killer of kids” doesn’t say anything about gun deaths
then I later linked the number that show that it’s about an even split between car accidents and gun. accidents (and yes there are other accidents but as the link shows they are much smaller contributors).
Is it really possible you don’t understand this very simple discussion or are you just being disingenuous?
