| This page contains death data taken from the CDC's 2010 Vital Statistics Report on Death in the United States. All of the information presented on this page can be retrieved from the CDC's Report. (Pg. 88-92 / Table 10) You'll notice that ACCIDENTAL death by firearms is a very small number. The Gun Ban lobby would have you believe that children are being slaughtered in the streets. Don't just take my word for it. READ THE REPORT!
