Yeah, just like people who read are shills for the printing industry. And people who eat are shills for those rednecks who sit on tractors.

Gun Deaths - Gun Deaths

The United States leads the world's richest nations in gun deaths -- murders, suicides, and accidental deaths due to guns - according to a study published April 17, 1998 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

The U.S. was first at 14.24 gun deaths per 100,000 people. Two other countries in the Americas came next. Brazil was second with 12.95, followed by Mexico with 12.69.
The wiki puts the US population at 312,119,000 estimated in 2011. United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If the rate quoted above is correct that puts the total estimated deaths at 44,445.
