Huum, low gun deaths, how are they on other deaths or does it only matter if the person dies by gunshot?

I would guess that they have more surfboard accidents than, say, Iowa, but this is a story about guns.

How many of those deaths were the direct result of negligence by a legal gun owner? I have not seen any anti gun people state facts truthfully. Always one sided and the real truth seems to be left out.

What difference does it make to the victim whether his death was due to negligence or intent? I would prefer not to be shot either way. The number of gun deaths in this country every single year equals 8 times the number who died on 9/11.

Suicide rate? Murder rate? Illegal gun vs registered gun deaths?

Certainly the gun crime rate will be lower as you can easily cross over many state borders with an illegal firearm but its a long paddle to rob a 7-11 in Maui.
