But only true if you include everyone up to the age of 20 and are talking about all deaths by guns including gang warfare. If you only count kids to the age of 10 , then the number is about 175. My source is Freakonomics where the author Steven Levitt shows that kids are more likely to die in a swimming pool accident.
