Point taken. However, I think that's the figure for self-inflicted if I'm not mistaken. This would include accidents and young children. It hardly matters. Even if we assume your number, that means we have 16,000/year that are not self-inflicted. Over 100,000/year are treated in American for gun shot related injuries. That's an incredible level of injury and loss and it happens every year.
