According to the Brady Campaign guns kill 7 children a day in the United States, 5 are homicide and 2 shoot themselves.
Compare to:
About 2 children a day die from unintentional drowning.
CDC figures suggest that a child dies from a bike accident a couple times a week (about 3 people die a day, but mostly adults and adolescents).
One child is killed every 2 weeks by having furniture topple over on them (Economist, 7/2/16 p8).
