 US gun deaths are calculated differently depending on who is publishing them. When I was an active firearms instructor it was necessary to know these stats. A good example is the FBI list would include suicides and law enforcement in the line of duty deaths and home defence in the figures. Its really important to know that its not as bad as the msm makes it seem. The odds on a US citizen getting killed by another US using a firearm are actually very low
