To see the data apparently used by the Brady Campaign (there may have been a typo or two), go to the CDC's WISCARS page at:
webapp.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_sy.html
Under "Report Options":
1. Select "All Intents".
2. Select "Firearm"
3. Select "United States", "All Races", "Both Sexes", "2001" to "2001", "All" Hispanic Origin, and "Standard Output".
Under "Advanced Options"
Select a "Custom Age Range" from "<1" to "19"
Select "No Age-Adjusting Requested"
Select "State" as your first (and only) output group.
Click "Submit Request".
This will give you the "2001" child and teen deaths quoted in each State's "Report Card". (Except for the following states: GA 112 (Brady) / 110 (CDC) , MI 101 (Brady) / 106 (CDC) , NE 23 (Brady) / 19 (CDC), and RI (Brady report didn't come up for me) / 6 (CDC).
Note that the page specifically cautions that "Rates based on 20 or fewer deaths may be unstable. Use with caution." This didn't stop the Brady Campaign from noting (without any caveats) that Alaska's rate is "nearly two and a half times higher than the national average."
Obviously, you can go back and change parameters to explore what happens when you look at data you think might be more appropriate to the issues.
