The 84 per day number is probably bogus. The anti-gun zealots make up a figure, and the dolts in the press dutifully report it. Here is how the numbers stack up, 365 days/year x 84 deaths/day= 30,660 deaths/year. I doubt if this is correct. This looks more like what we see with annual traffic fatalities.

The number is somewhat exaggerated, and it does count about 22,000 suicides annually (depending on what year you get the information from) Counting suicides is deliberately misleading (gosh what a surprise - antigunners deliberately lie) since Japan has a higher suicide rate than the US and virtually no access to guns.
