j, these are the nunmbers we're working with:
its already established there are between 700-1300 accidental shootings a year.
"there are about 7700 to 18500 reported legal shootings of criminals a year"
Guns and Self-Defense by Gary Kleck, Ph.D.
Now 44,000 is more than 18500. And by a wide margin as well.
However, what you fail to recognize is that overall gun ownership is safer than riding your bike.
