That means there are about 11,600 homicides by firearms per year in the US, or about 32 per day.

This figure doesn’t include non-fatal shootings, or suicides by firearms. According to the following, there are about 75,000 non-fatal shootings per year (both deliberate and accidental) and about 17,000 suicides with firearms per year:

(Interestingly, the majority of deaths by firearms are self-inflicted.)

Altogether, that’s an average of 284 people killed or injured by firearms every day.
