All firearm deaths

Number of deaths: 31,347
Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.2 http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/injury.htm

and the CDC's source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr60/nvsr60_03.pdf

if you dig into their source, it says in 2009, the homicides committed with firearms was 11,493

, very closer to the FBI numbers.
My point is, just because it's official doesn't mean it's correct.

interesting note from the CDC 2009 source: there were 9,000 suicides committed by suffocation that year.

total suicides that year: 36,909
total homicides that year: 16,799

what do suicides and homicides have in common? bueller? bueller?
