hahaha Venzilla you are such a FUCKING SUCKER for FAKE Propaganda!
Your stats come from the PURE right wing bogus propaganda outlet
http://www.justfacts.com/
looking through that website gave me a nice chuckle - its complete rightly smear and lie - you are such a brainwashed tool is hilarious.
They cherry pick stats to back up their political point of view and hide the REAL stats that matter.
The real stats are that the likelyhood that your gun will be used against you by an intruder and many times higher than you successfully defending yourself. And the likely hood that a member of your family will be shot by your guns are MANY times higher than THAT.
You gun freaks are PUSSYS - you are afraid of your own shadow. You know there is only one reason you own them... and although you have all these fantasies about the joy and satisfaction you will get when you one day get to kill another human being trying to break into your double wide trailer - the ONLY person your gun is going to kill is YOURSELF. Just do us all a favor and get it over with - load a hollow point in the chamber, hold the barrel to your head, and pull the trigger...it will be alright, you wont feel a thing, all your fear and pain and anger at the government and the world will be over in an instant.
