Gun-death tally: Every American gun death since Newtown Sandy Hook shooting (INTERACTIVE). - Slate Magazine
Of course, this data is incomplete. Not all reports get caught by @GunDeaths news alerts or his followers. Suicides, which are estimated to make up as much as 60 percent of gun deaths, typically go unreported. Nevertheless, we at Slate want to assemble this data as best we can.
I heard this on NPR today. It is Amazing what a society will accept and defend as "acceptable."
Just go to the CDC's annual report on mortality. It breaks down every reported death during the year.
FYI most gun deaths during most years are suicides.
