There are more guns then cars in America but traffic deaths are far greater.If the 300 million guns have only one magazine with 10 rounds in it, that's 3 billion rounds of ammo. In all likelihood, the number of rounds is far greater.  While 30,000 fatalities is a sad thing, compared to the potential number, it shows that guns in the hands of law abiding mentally sane citizens aren't especially with worrying about.The typical box of rifle ammo has 20 rounds. Handgun ammo is either 25 or most commonly 50 rounds per box.(I own several.)Comparing criminal acts with a weapon isn't really the same thing as an accident.As far as heaters go, note what is said here. Turn them off when you leave the room.<a href="https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/News-and-media/Press-Room/News-releases/2010/Space-heaters-involved-in-79-percent-of-fatal-home-heating-fires" target="_blank">https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/News-and-media/Press-Room/News-releases/2010/Space-heaters-involved-in-79-percent-of-fatal-home-heating-fires</a></blockquote>
