YOU want the CDC statistics web page: [url]webapp.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate.html[/url] (forgot to make the link hot) Pick the year(s) you want, specify the subgroups and submit your request. For example, in 1999 there were 158 accidental deaths by firearm for children from birth through age 17 ("chirren" by most people's definition). For that same year 1,127 drowned, 158 died by fall, 177 by accidental poisoning, and 228 died in bicycle accidents. That what you're looking for? |

Quoted: Also, consider that the antis inflate their figures by calling a 23-year old Crip killed in a drug turf shootout a "child." It's not just the anti's doing this, the Department of Justice is also sponsoring ads promoting the lie that 10 children a day are killed by guns. I heard it on the radio the other night. They partnered with We Prevent to put on the "public service announcement". |
