So, its not so much how many people guns kill, its how many people guns kill in relation to how many guns don't kill people? OK, I will admit it..I ma being snarky
However, every year I bet there are probably millions of bullets fired at shooting ranges, competitions, law enforcement training, for hunting, etc. that don't kill people. Hell, last summer alone I bet I shot close to 1500 9mm bullets and close to 150 shotgun shells at the shooting range with my father in law. Not one of those projectiles came close to injuring a human being.
