In my world, if they're driving they're adult enough to not
count as kiddies.

Actually they include the CDC group of 18-25 yr olds as children - the 
reason being, this age group is more heavily involved in gangs and drugs 
which greatly increases the damage claimed by guns.   When removing the 
18-25 yr old group from 'death by gun' the number of children accidentally 
killed by guns (which the anti-gunners cite as up to 13 pr day!!)  drops to 
less than those killed in bath tubs (less than 40 IIRC although that's way 
to many).  Yet no group is calling for banning bah tubs. ;-^


The DCD website has the latest data BTW - but I don't have the link anymore.

http://www.ichv.org/facts-about-gun-violence/general-facts-about-gun- 
violence - an anti-gun group says ~31,000 gun deaths in the US in  2006. 
As they're an anti-gun group we can probably assume their number  is high 
although this number shows up on a lot of websites.


These groups usually also count police shootings.  Gotta watch
that kind of lying.  (Were firing squads still in use, they'd
probably count them too.)  They also count 18yo, etc., as 'children'.
In my world, if they're driving they're adult enough to not
