15. What I am looking for is the reason

The CDC statistics are in error. A restriction on Research has absolutely nothing to do with tabulating death. Why is it called a newspaper articles is more reliable than government provided the statistics?

As we have seen often news reports are in error. Could it be that some accidental death as reported in newspapers are eventually classed as homicide or suicide by the CDC? The only way to determine that would require a complete breakdown of gun-related homicide, suicide and accidental deaths by minors.

A further question would be is the NRA using a source other than the CDC which is reporting an even lower number?
