    It must be, I am still here walking around and have never been mugged or shot or stabbed. Just got home from town where I walked through a grocery store, a post office and two libraries with a gun in my pocket. Having that gun really worked too, not one person tried to attack me.

    1999-2017
    47,728,569 deaths
    227,717 deaths to firearm-releted homicide.
    That's 1 in 209, or less than 0.5%
    This is hardly among the "most likely" ways to die.

    Your chart is skewed. If you want the real and accurate stats go to the CDC website. Take all accidental falls, over 30,000 per year; accidental poisonings, over 55,000 per year; motor vehicle accidents, over 35,000 per year; non-firearm suicide, over 15,000 per year. Now compare that to assault by firearms, over 14,000 per year. So by looking at those stats it would indicate a person was more likely to by falling or even non-firearm suicide than by homicide from a firearm.
