Do an average of nine children a day die in the United States of gunshot wounds? PolitiFact Oregon Calls Bravo Sierra :: 07/08/2014

"Do an average of nine children a day die in the United States of gunshot wounds? PolitiFact Oregon Calls Bravo Sierra. The national Brady Campaign spokeswoman confirmed the figure. "It is correct to say that 8 children and teens die from gun violence every day," Fuson said in an email. "It is also correct to say that 9 children and teens are shot unintentionally." We checked the nonfatal number as well and found that 8.86 children are unintentionally shot each day and survive, according to the CDCs online database and found that about half of all youth gun deaths, 7,223 of 14,258, are 18 and 19 year olds.

Would the National Brady Campaign actually lie to you about gun deaths and accidents? We checked CDC causes of death among children (real kids, not gang bangers) and the number of deaths by firearm accident is at an all-time low at under 600 total. That's 600 too many, but OUR efforts to educate are working, even in the face of millions of new gun sales.
