I read one of the sources the data was taken from:
Firearm-Related Injuries Affecting the Pediatric Population
And here's the
link from the AAP Conference with the title - '
United States Childhood Gun-Violence – Disturbing Trends'
After clicking through lots of links and related articles, it sounds to me like an attempt to fund a project that got de-funded a while back.
The study does cite its sources, and, despite better things to do this evening, I drilled down far enough to see how they'd skewed the data. You're welcome to do the same.
