This is a link to an article about the leading causes of death in America.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19080118/

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/acc-inj.htm This link shows the causes of accidental death (accidental death being the fifth leading cause of death)

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr56/nvsr56_10.pdf
This link breaks accidental deaths into things like traffic accidents, poisonings, and firearms deaths. They fail to seperate firearm deaths (suicide, homicide, and accidental). I would be interested in knowing the breakdown since suicide and homicide are not accidental by my definition. A three year old getting hokd of a firearm and killing someone is accidental. An adult wishing to commit suicide is not an accident.
