How about the Center for Disease Control, Children's Defense Fund and National Center for Health Statistics? You cool when them as sources (even though they're the original sources I posted you just stopped reading before you got to them)?

Children and Gun Violence
In a single year, 3,012 children and teens were killed by gunfire in the United States, according to the latest national data released in 2002. That is one child every three hours; eight children every day; and more than 50 children every week. And every year, at least 4 to 5 times as many kids and teens suffer from non-fatal firearm injuries. (Children's Defense Fund and National Center for Health Statistics)
America and Gun Violence
American children are more at risk from firearms than the children of any other industrialized nation. In one year, firearms killed no children in Japan, 19 in Great Britain, 57 in Germany, 109 in France, 153 in Canada, and 5,285 in the United States. (Centers for Disease Control)

Like I said, have at it Sally Rand. In fact, if you want to get together with all your friends and family for the New Years, I'll happily buy you all guns and booze to go along with it. It can't help but improve the World, all things considered.
