Nope. Here's what I'm saying:

110 up to age 19 means about 70 preteens. Maybe a little more or less, but close enough for this purpose.

If a family has 4 of those 70 per year, that means it has 5.7% of such deaths.

The US has roughly 50 million preteens.

5.7% of 50 million is 2,850,000. That's how many preteens need to be in his family if his family is representative of the country as a whole.

So, I think his figures are bullshit.

Where did I say anything about my family being representative of anything?

You didn't. I don't believe that a single family could be un-representative to such a staggering extent.

Yeah, we could have a >5% decline in preteen accidental gun deaths if his family would quit storing loaded guns in the toy chest.

Wouldn't hurt.

If school teachers are going to be required to carry guns, will the librarians be required to use silencers?
