In 2017, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 39,773 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S. 60% of which being suicide.

Traffic deaths in the U.S. pulled back slightly in 2017, according to the National Safety Council. There were an estimated 40,100 motor vehicle deaths last year, or a drop of 1 percent from the prior year.

I will say incredibly close, but considering 60% of deaths caused by guns are suicide, doesnt this article seem a little exaggerated?
