discntnt: I used CDC statistics ...and totaled firearm deaths for accidents, suicides and assaults for 2008. The total is 364 for those under 15 years of age.
Where is that 3,000 number coming from?

'Wisqars' (CDC), makes you right (mine from 2010), giving 380 for children 0 thru 14.
It seems the distinction is indeed age, & {edit: million moms grp, not wisqars} is defining children as under 20.
I sorta agree that 'children' should not include 18 & 19 yos, just 17 & under, which would yield 1,300 approx yearly gundeaths from accidents, suicides & homicides.

2010, United States Firearm Deaths All Races, Both Sexes, Ages 0 to 19
Number of
Deaths ..Population
2,711 .....83,267,556 = ('children' <or=19)

(clickon 'I agree' & then at next webpage select 'all intents' and 'firearm' and then in 'custom age range' your age preferences. And then Submit.)

Tuesday Afternoon I really like the way they named themselves One Million Moms for Gun Control and have 70K members.

Kinda like how the NRA touts itself as the national rifle asso when it isnt national just has 4 million members out of ~90 million gun owners, & isn't a rifle asso but a gun association.
NRA only fits the tailing 3rd word, asso's.
