Some Statistics

This link leads to the Death Clock which ticks off the number of deaths from various causes. Notice how many others compare with gun homicides.

They provide handy links to the sources of their statistics too, if you questions the numbers. The Kleck number is controversial, but even if it's off by a factor of ten, well, it's still amazing.
