I did some research...
Deaths in 2009 = 2,437,163
The 15 leading causes of death in 2009 were:
1. Diseases of heart (heart disease) @ 599,413
2. Malignant neoplasms (cancer) @ 567,628
3. Chronic lower respiratory diseases @ 137,353
4. Cerebrovascular diseases (stroke) @ 128,842
5. Accidents (unintentional injuries) @ 118,021
6. Alzheimer’s disease @ 79,003
7. Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) @ 68,705
8. Influenza and pneumonia @ 53,692
9. Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis (kidney disease) @ 48,935
10. Intentional self-harm (suicide) @ 36,909
11. Septicemia @ 35,639
12. Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis @ 30,558
13. Essential hypertension and hypertensive renal dis* ease (hypertension) @ 25,734
14. Parkinson’s disease @ 20,565
15. Assault (homicide) @ 16,799
Conclusion: Of total deaths in 2009, 0.69% (0.68928504) were due to Assault (homicide).
Results on page 39:
Nontransport accidents, Accidental discharge of firearms: 554
Intentional self-harm (suicide) by discharge of firearms: 18,735
Assault (homicide) by discharge of firearms: 11,493

In 2009 the FBI reported that in the United States 348 murders were due to rifles and 6,452 murders were due to handguns. In comparison, the state of California alone had 1,022 murders due to handguns.
Another shocking fact, that there are more murders classified as "Other than felony type" and "Other arguments" than there are violent crimes combined (Table 11).

How many who are conceding defeat have called/written/emailed their reps and voiced their concerns.
