Subject: RE: BS: Guns & laws in the US
There were 52,447 deliberate and 23,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in the United States during 2000.[4] The majority of gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides,[5] with 17,352 (55.6%) of the total 31,224 firearm-related deaths in 2007 due to suicide, while 12,632 (40.5%) were homicide deaths.[6]

That's from Wikipedia

Whatever the hell the numbers are they way too many and are reflective of the number and availability of guns in the US.
