Most of those are gang or drug related.  Some are simply stupidity.

Recently a fellow was accosted entering a friend's house south of Council
Bluffs, IA,
because he was carrying a .22 pistol.  He said not to worry about it because it
was
loaded with blanks, and to prove it he handed the pistol to his sister and told
her to
shoot him with it.  She did.  In the head.  He died a day or so later, because
of the
bullet in his brain.  Apparently the round in the pistol's chamber was *not* a
blank.

In this country deaths caused by motor vehicles exceed those caused by
firearms.
Most motor vehicle accidents don't make the national news, let alone the
international
news.
