None.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Dear phoenix , there's no such thing as an accidental Gunshot...
Having a Gun in the house only creates the risk of someone getting shot... Perhaps your Federal police has statistics. Also you Townhall, Governor's administration can provide you with the numbers... I don't suppose the number would be on the internet in this Godforsaken day and age...

Not as many as die from smoking and drinking. Lets ban cigarettes and booze too.

A whole lot less than those lives saved by firearms. But, alas, you won't read about them.

According to the National Safety Council, for 1995, if we consider "children" to include anyone under 15 years old, we find deaths caused by motor vehicle accidents: 2900; accidental deaths associated with fires: 1300; accidental deaths caused by drowning: 950; accidental deaths caused by poisoning: 650; accidental deaths caused by inhalation and ingestion of objects: 300; accidental deaths caused by firearms: 200.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics of the U.S. Census Bureau, for people of all ages, for 1992: deaths caused by motor vehicle accidents: 40,982; accidental deaths caused by falls and fractures: 12,646; accidental deaths caused by poisoning: 7082; accidental deaths caused by drowning: 3524; accidental deaths caused by inhalation and ingestion of objects: 3128; accidental deaths caused by complications due to medical procedures: 2669; accidental deaths caused by firearms: 1409.
The Centers for Disease Control also has numbers of accidental deaths for 1995. Those caused by motor vehicles: 43,484; accidental deaths caused by falls: 10,483; accidental deaths caused by poisoning: 9072; accidental deaths caused by suffocation: 4247; accidental deaths associated with fires: 3761; accidental deaths caused by firearms: 1619.
All three of these groups list firearms well down the list of causes of accidental deaths. Note that you are almost twice as likely to die accidentally from complications due to medical procedures than from firearms.
