2.8874 * 10000=28874. 2.8874 is bigger than 1, so 2.8874 is plural. So 10s of thousands gun related deaths happened in 1999. Where's your logic?

As a side not, in Norway a total of 27 people were killed by guns in 2009. Here we have strict gun control. This should give you something to think about, considering the facts, and not the fiction.
