A quick review of the wikipedia pages puts those two figures in the mid 30,000s per year. Perhaps the methodology is off but it doesn't seem like the gun figure could be off by an order of magnitude or more.

- zeveb 7y ago> A quick review of the wikipedia pages puts those two figures in the mid 30,000s per year. Mass shooting != gun violence. Roughly the same order of magnitude of people die from motor vehicles & firearms in the U.S., but very few people die from mass shootings.
- projektfu 7y agoI was replying to the part about annual car deaths exceeding cumulative gun deaths. The parent comment has since been edited. It now says (inaccurately) that motor deaths are an order of magnitude more common, which is untrue in the US. Perhaps in the whole world, because gun deaths are relatively infrequent outside the US, Latin America, and war zones.
