These deaths consisted of
11,208 homicides,
21,175 suicides,
505 deaths due to accidental or
discharge of a firearm, and
281 deaths due to firearms use with
undetermined intent". All right, so we ban suicide and the number of gun deaths drop by almost half.....

According to a study from Johns Hopkins Medical School, approximately 250,000 deaths per year are caused by medical errors. So it is 7.5 times more likely that you will get killed by a doctor than a gun. And that calculation includes the suicides.

There are more than 5 times as many "incidents" which result in death due to medical errors than there are "gun incidents"

Only 2 used a gun

Closed garages and pills lead the list, with a couple of self-hangings thrown in
