Isn't this misconstrued because the popupation has exponentially increased since the revolution? Of course there are more gun deaths, there are more people! How is that variable accounted for?
Just since 1970, more Americans have died from guns than all the Americans who died in wars going back to the American Revolution (about 1.45 million vs. 1.4 million). That gun toll includes suicides, murders and accidents, and these days it amounts to 92 bodies a day.
