CDCs list of causes of childhood
accidental death.
Gunshot doesn't even make the list.
So why all the attention?
Emotional pandering is so much more effective with a boogeyman attatched.
After all - even though drowning far outnumbers gunshots - it' s hard to keep a straight face and blather on about how moral it is to confinscate lakes and other bodies of water.....
That report is 11 years old. Here's some more recent information:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/health/ch...index.html
Quote:Death by gunshot was the second-highest cause of death in the United States in 2016 among children and adolescents ages 1 to 19, according to a study released Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Quote:More than 12,000 deaths, or 60%,were from injury-related causes. Motor vehicle injuries led the list at 4,074, but firearms injuries were close behind at 3,143 deaths, or 15% of the total deaths among children.

Your study shows one year.
CDC study - 6 years.
Which is usually more accurate? A larger or smaller study group?
