Did you actually use your CDC link? Oh, I forgot, this is Slashdot.
Anyway, I just tried it, using "All intents", "Firearms", age range "1" to "19". If I believe your 12,000 figure, my query should have returned higher results, since it's not just accidents. However, my results showed just over 3,000. Keep in mind this includes 18-19 year olds shot in the commision of a crime. If I narrow the query to"Unintentional", it drops to 193.

And since when is a 19 year old a child?
