I’m not familiar with nor am I equipped to comment on the natalist PoV, but I will comment on your argument:
Gun violence isn’t even in the top 10 leading causes of death in the US. You’re more likely to die in an auto accident or to cancer or heart disease or diabetes or a number of other things than due to gun violence. If you’re trying to present a serious argument here, you might want to consider actual statistics.

Given the prevalence of carbrain culture and corn syrup/hyperprocessed ingredients in EVERYTHING, I think this is more of a “we should tackle all of the above” problem. Your chances of dying to gun violence in the US are exponentially higher than anywhere else, in addition to the US taking health and safety less seriously than other developed countries. The red line must go up at any cost.
I say this as someone who lived in the US for most of my life before fleeing to another country. The grass is always greener when compared to a toxic waste dump.
It is the leading cause of death for ages 1-19 though

I’m not a natalist, but let’s be real: the number if deaths caused by gun violence miniscule relative to the entire population. That said, 6 out of every 100000 kids die of firearm injuries and is the leading cause of death in children. Gun control is something that need to be improved in the country for sure. I’m just not sure it is a significant threat to “Clara.” A much bigger threat, imo, is the state of education and reliability of information today.
