Personally I don't believe everything that I hear on the news.
USA stats only.
Just take one year, 2007, as an example. Firearm related deaths - with 17,352 (55.6%) of the total 31,224 firearm-related deaths in 2007 due to suicide.
41,059 deaths via motor vehicle that same year.
It only took until 1983 to surpass the same figure that you heard on the news with motor vehicle deaths.
Anybody that is a news person or a Statistician please don't be offended, as I don't trust either of them.
