There are an average of over 6 million auto accidents in the US alone every year. There are an average of over 1.5 million reported fires each year. How many shootings are there?

Fortunately, unless I get lottery like odds drawn, they won't. I'm very fortunate that police in San Jose are really good and that there actually aren't many guns per capita in my area. Our crime rate is VERY low. (It's like living in Canada!) I'm more likely to be a finalist on American Idol.
