Not hardly. Depends on the city. Here in this county (all cities combined) we had a total of 30 homicide deaths (all types, not just guns). We had 32 suicides (all types, not necessarily guns). All other unintentional deaths totaled 52. I do not know the number of gun related deaths in those totals, but even with everything combined including non-gun related, it only adds up to 112 for the entire county. The county has a population of around 310,000. Inside our county is also Fort Bragg. I'm not sure how that number translates in comparison to national averages. It is around .000365%

Oh, found this (national average):

I believe motor vehicle accidents cause the greatest number of deaths in this country...



>I understand that the "average" U.S. city/town has in excess of 300 gun murders a year. This includes (I believe) accidental shootings (basically never happen here) and domestic trouble (basically never happen here (by gun)).
