According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), National Vital Statistics Reports Vol 52, No. 3, September 18, 2003 pg 30-34 nation wide in 2001 there 11,348 instances of firearm related fatalities from assualts. Among children under 1 year, there were 11. Among children between 1 and 4 there were 55. Among children aged 5-14 there were 180.

The next category is "15-24" which includes some children, but also a LOT of adults and consisted of 4,200 firearm assualt related fatalities.

I'm sorry but 18 to 24 year old gang bangers, drug dealers and criminals are NOT children playing with guns who accidentally shoot themselves when their parents aren't around.
