I hope this isn't out of context, also I don't want to "own the libs" or something here, I'm actually interested.

I appreciate you challenging my numbers, but you're not being very helpful finding actual sources. I found a report from the bureau of justice statistics that says 478,400 total cases of firearm violence in 2011. I see it trending upward from 2008-2011 as well, though that's probably a consequence of the financial crisis.
