Hey Six.
The two stats are from the same source, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention study. But, they cover different subject groups and context.
The new safety ad campaign covered in post 4137 notes that 8 children are unintentionally killed or injured each day, specifically with guns found in the home only ('Family Fire'). Not all of those children die.
The statistic from the CBS article in post 4133 covers child firearm deaths only (not injuries). That number includes (but is not limited to) unintentional child deaths caused by family guns in the home.
