That's interesting, the one stat that amazes me is the hospital deaths as I've known several who have died over what should have been routine operations or procedures, friends and extended family.  The city stats are kinda interesting too as I have lived in one of these so called crime filled cities my entire life, including both riding public transportation, bicycling many years,and occasionally walking many miles, and I do not know a single person who was murdered. There is one exception a drug murder (beating) between drug addicts, these were people in our local neighborhood. As for gun deaths a few suicides from schools where family or friends taught. But I think there is a great difference going out one day to shop or one night to enjoy your friends and being slaughtered by an insecure crazy who can procure a weapon of mass destruction which serves no real purpose in life. I carried a gun often when I hiked in Alaska but an AK-15 would have been laughed at by the locals.

"The shooter is almost always male. Of the past 129 mass shootings in the United States, all but three have been men. The shooter is socially alienated, and he can't get laid. Every time you scratch the surface of the latest mass killing, in a movie theatre, a school, the streets of Paris or an abortion clinic, you find the weaponised loser. From Jihadi John of ISIS to Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris at Columbine, these men are invariably stuck in the emotional life of an adolescent. They always struggle with self-esteem – especially regarding women – and sometimes they give up entirely on the possibility of amorous fulfilment. There are different levels of tactical coordination, different ostensible grievances and different access to firearms, but the psyche beneath is invariably the same."

I have been thrown out of left wing forums when I punished stats that show how to decrease violent crime if they really believed that gun ban works. Banning guns from one certain group would reduce homicide by firearm by over 50% in the USA. It would also service that same group by reducing the rate that they are victims of homicide by firearm by about 90%. We can all guess what group that is.   

Then we can empty out 26% of our Federal Prisons by sending back illegal aliens. No need to build new ones.

Somehow facts are deemed to be racist.
That certain group is ALREADY Disarmed! Many of that certain group live where they have the strictest gun laws, since the MAJORITY of that certain group is law abiding, these gun laws have had the effect of making this certain group helpless in the face of rampant lawlessness. Also, since the certain group is helpless in the face of lawlessness, it's unfair to attack them for not publicly opposing it. One -  the media will ignore what they say, and - two - those criminals, armed with illegal weapons, live right down the street, and the Police will only show up in time to draw the chalk outline.

So tell us unenlightened Religion beliven bible thumpin gun clinger on'ers, the answer. You alleged that a bunch of depressed virgin males are to blame. Are you suggesting this group not be allowed to own a weapon till they get laid, that they be limited to pistols if they are city dwellers?

I too qualified expert with the M-16, but seeing how that was damn near 50 years ago, I bought a 12 Ga pump since my aim and eyesight isn't what it used to be.
Are you saying an AK style weapon shouldn't be allowed for home protection because it isn't cool? What's worse, a thug packin heat with multiple clips, or some schmuck with an AK under his coat?
It's easier to tackle an idiot with a rifle than it is someone with a hand gun.
All my training proves it, fighting over a pistol? Someone will get shot, not so much a rifle.
