In the United States, there are more than 32,000 yearly deaths caused by firearms each year. This number is slowly rising, while the incidence rate (i.e. deaths per 100,000 people) is about the same. This means that there are about 85 deaths each day in the USA due to a gun.
Note that about 19,000 of those deaths are suicides, 11,000 from homicide, and 800 from accidents.
