This is because the results from 2003 and 2004 have not been finalized by the CDC yet.
You are correct, when you look at the number, more people are killed by car crashes and other things each year then by firearms. Suicides are the number one firearm related death.
One of the largest driving forces is that some people don't see a *need* for guns so they think if we geti rid of them, fewer people each year will die. Then you have to start arguing need and etc, etc and on and on.
