I found the 32,000.

It said we had 10 gun related deaths per 100,000 people. and 6 of those deaths are suicide. US gun deaths

Then I found this link that shows the total suicide rate. Suicide rate by country Which shows that the UK has almost as many suicides as we do. Apparently they find other ways to kill themselves.

I don’t believe them. According to the CDC, for 2010 the number of deaths by suicide (not list of how it was done) was 38,364 and that was tenth on the list. If you take out those using a gun then gun related deaths (homicide?) are much lower.

The list didn’t even have homicide in the top 15 causes of death.

And Wikipedia (I know, not exactly 100% accurate) says in 2010 there were 11,078 firearm related homicides and 19,392 suicides.
