That 5,000 "children" killed by gun homicides very likely includes felons up to the age of 18
Actually, that would be up to age 25 if they're using the same DoJ statistics the VPC does. If they're using the CDC's NVSS, then they'd have to be including the 15-19 and 19-24 age groups to get that number.

A note about Giffords: the lady was shot in the head by a deranged gunman. She had to go through a long and undoubtedly arduous recovery process. We can attack the message, but let's be respectful to the messenger.
