I was focusing on a reply to DoninKansas. 
Here is the bigger picture, from the CDC: 
"There are roughly 32,000 gun deaths per year in the United States. Of those, around 60% are suicides. About 3% are accidental deaths (less than 1,000). About 34% of deaths (just over 11,000 in both 2010 and 2011) make up the remainder of gun deaths. Sometimes the 32,000 and 11,000 figures are used interchangeably by gun control advocates."
So, DoninKansas, whether you are more likely to be killed by careless gun owners, or gang-bangers, probably depends on who you hang out with. But gang-bangers kill far more people per year.
