The latest CDC report, 2010. Table 10 is the one you want.
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr61/nvsr61_04.pdf
Motor Vehicle accidents - 35,332
Accidental firearm deaths - 606
Suicide by firearm - 19,392
Suicide by other means - 18,972
Homicide by firearm - 11,078
And for grins, Falls - 26,009. When the missus tells you to clean the gutters, she is really just trying to kill you.
