Apparently these guys started keeping data records sometime in the early 1900's and conclude:

"The accidental fatal firearm rate has dropped by 94% since we started keeping statistics, even though the total number of firearms per capita has likely at least doubled."

But remember, these are 'unintentional accidental' shootings. I wonder what it would be if it included intentional shootings from murder and armed robberies, and shootings by cops?

But regardless, these numbers put to shame the scare tactics utilized by anti-gun nuts.
