component causes of firearm injury deaths in 2014 were

You should understand that firearm-related injuries will be proportionately worse. Moreover, toddlers kill people at the rate of about 1 per week which is significantly greater than terrorism deaths except for 2001 (2908 with 9/11) and 1995 (171 with Oklahoma City).
