500-something people out of a population of almost 320 million is pretty damn minuscule.

IMO every single "accidental" gun death is preventable and unacceptable, but damn people get carried away talking about them. 30,000+ Americans die in car wrecks every year.

Those numbers are per 100,000.

It's a sad commentary on the journal that published it as well.

Those numbers are per 100,000.

That just makes the numbers flat out lies. There weren't 160,000 gun deaths.

250,000 per year die from medical errors according to a 2016 study from Johns Hopkins.

Nothing but libtard snowflake junk supposed “journalism” propagated by left wing liberal idiots. I’m so sick of hearing it!

Those numbers are per 100,000.

I am pretty sure those are total numbers.

 

[CampingJosh]

Those numbers are per 100,000.

591 people in 2011, 548 people in 2012, and 505 people in 2013 were the totals for the US population. Those are rates of 0.19 (2011), 0.17 (2012), and 0.16 (2013) per 100,000 people.

Over 64,000 people died from drug overdoses in the USA in 2016 alone. More than died in the entire Vietnam war. Victimless crime my rear end.

When one considers how heavily armed the American populace is (and the anti-gunners consider that a bad thing), those accidental death numbers are miniscule.

But those deaths do nothing towards the agenda. You know....the agenda. To disarm the population.
