This is a look at how drastically accidental gun deaths have fallen as Americans went from owning 200 million guns in the 1990s, and in 1997 having 4.7 million people carrying guns...to 357-400 million guns in American hands and over 15 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2016.......

Here is the data I downloaded from the CDC on accidental firearm deaths.
From 1985 to 2015 the total number deaths dropped from 1649 to 489. A decrease of over 70%. And if we look at the death rate instead of total deaths it went from 0.69 to 0.15 per 100,000. That’s a drop of over 78%. And that’s without a government program.
