A quite large amount of deaths from what I gather but If I remember correctly its mostly gangland related anyway So no banning or un-banning of guns will change those figures.
The type of people in this country with guns arnt really the type you can defend yourself against in that manner. If you kill one of them you will likeley live out the day but the next day you are likeley to be greated by his family and/or associates so your gonna end up dead too.

I still dont see a use for it, seems more like using a lethal weapon for a hobby to me, still not really a good use. Can you do anything constructive with it? Can you weld with a gun? no. Can you cook a delicous meal with a gun? thought not. can you drive a family member to the airport in a gun? hmm.

What constructive porpose does firing bullets at lethal velocity have?
Hunting is the only one listed so far that even comes close to a constructive porpose, and since that rarely seems to be done to eat but rather for fun I would say thats not very constructive either.
