Is that what you're doing? Because mine come from the govt.
If you can do math, divide the 9600 people killed by gun use every year ( 
half of which are suicides & don't count because they woulda just used 
something else, but I'll be generous ) by 70 million gun owners.

Oh, and 16,500 people die from aspirin & tylenol each year, and another 
16,500 from AIDS, and 450,000 from tobacco in just this country.
