They don't know how many gun owners there are as many guns are not registered.

Firearms Deaths ~ 28,000
Accidental Firearm Deaths ~ 800
Firearms Deaths by Suicide ~ 16,000
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/tables/frmdth.htm
Households With a Gun 49% 47,600,000
Adults Owning a Gun 31% 59,100,000
People in America aren't very likely to die from a firearm compared to other causes of death. Especially if they don't pull the trigger themselves.
