Kids and Guns

The anti-gunners keep claiming that hundreds and hundreds of children die every year from firearm related accidents. Well Kevin over at the Smallest Minority has issues with bold face lies and delivers the real data provided by the Center for Disease Control:

Here's the available CDC data (you trust the .gov, right?) tabulated from 1990 up through 2006:

2006: 102 2005: 127 2004: 105 2003: 102 2002: 115 2001: 125 2000: 150 1999: 158 1998: 207 1997: 247 1996: 272 1995: 330 1994: 403 1993: 392 1992: 378 1991: 419 1990: 417

Go read his entire post it's very good and further exemplifies why the anti-gun crowd is becoming more irrelevant every day. Also it's good to see that gun related accidents involving children have been steadily decreasing over the last decade and a half.
