20,000 are suicide attempts.

7,000 are found to be completely legal incidents of self defense either by a private citizen or cop

400 are accidental gun deaths

25,000 occur between members of organized crime.

3,000 cases are deemed manslaughter or battery because the state law doesn't allow defensive gun use while a criminal is fleeing or subdued, or the firearm was deemed excessive use of force

For comparison, drug use kills over 700,000 Americans a year. Your chance of being shot by another person as an innocent person is 15x lower

Accidental gun deaths should be at zero. We need mandatory gun ownership and training.
