I’ll bet most of the “children” are gang members, but many are victims of domestic violence.

How many of these 18 year old ghetto babies are gang bangers killed by other gang bangers? How many of totally innocent 21 year old black angles are killed by cops because the pulled a gun or knife on them?? How many of these walk on water kids were killed while committing a crime by an armed citizen?? How many of these 16 year old need to be citizens are killing each others over drugs? How many of these so called kids are killed by white people? How many are killed by darker skinned people?
About now is when they figure out that the facts don't fit what they are trying to sell so the get all pissed off and start yelling "racism." When they get all done with their rant ask them the same questions over and over again until they answer with the true numbers.
You can post the BS numbers but it does not sound like you know the truth and facts.

Are they starting to keep statistics on how many elderly people die each year because of Obamacare?

Yeah, and unemployment is only 7 percent.
So are we supposed to childproff the world?
Nearly every violent gun crime is stopped by another gun.
This may sound harsh, but freedom costs.

... children “or adolescents”.
In other words, 98 +/- % of those “children” are Amish gang-bangers.

stats say it’s mostly black males..children are considered 19 and under
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2014/01/22/peds.2013-1809.abstract
the stats don’t make sense...if 7391 were due to firearm related injuries. (and I am assuming) 270 were suicides and 4559 were due to assaults, what were the other 2522, pain in the ass innocent bystanders ?
plus the suicide stats in general don’t make sense.stats say it

IOW, it has nothing to do with accidents. It has a great deal to do with criminal activity in the inner cities. It is sad, but it has nothing to do with law-abiding people owning guns.
BINGO!!!

Blacks ages 15 to 19 were 13 times more likely than their white peers to be injured by gunfire. And 70% of all black children hospitalized for gun injury (compared with 32% of all white children injured by firearms) were classified as victims of assault.

Are they counting the kids who choked on those little plastic guns that come with Star Wars Action Figures. I’ll bet they are.

Just to be extra safe you should get rid of all your furniture. Falling furniture sends 500 children a day to the ER.
And remove the toilet seat, boys can be horribly injured and traumatized by falling toilet seats.
