At least half, although your definition and my definition of killed are probably different.
Hey this was a long time ago, but do you remember Bill Clinton? Oh wait that was not very long ago. A lot of his stuff was vetoed, but had it not been we'd be VERY restricted. Including stupid "smart" guns.

You should see the stuff that's being proposed in MA, GPS trackers built into every gun, microstamping....

Clintons use of Executive Orders is what worries me. I don't think Obama will do that on this term, or even try. I'm not sure what he'll do if re-elected.
During his term, President Clinton also used the power of executive orders to implement gun control policies. On April 6, 1998 Clinton signed an order that permanently banned the importation of more than 50 semiautomatic "assault weapons".[9] In 1999 White House domestic policy chief Bruce D. Reed said, "The country is tired of waiting for Congress to respond to the tragedy in Littleton. The administration is going to do every thing in its power to make progress on guns."[10] In 2001 Clinton also used executive orders to ban the importation of "assault pistols" and tighten licensing rules on gun dealers.[11] Many accused Clinton of overuse of the executive power on gun control issues.
I like Rachael Maddow's idea about gun laws. If the 2nd amendment is to be taken literally, full access to ANY and all weaponry should be allowed. Only because guns were the most forceful weaponry available when the constitution was drafted was it included, but if the purpose is to protect your house and your state from government or outside forces attacking, you have the right to defend your property. If that is right is to be exercised, ANY type of weaponry should be allowed to be used. Guns, missiles, bombs, etc, to any citizen of the states.
Best I can find is around 31k people died in fatal accidents in 2009, of which like 40% were alchohol related.
so I guess we should outlaw alcohol. Again. Banning shit totally works, and so does regulation cause we didn't get shit faced every weekend in high school or college because we weren't 21 yet.

This is the way the amendment was written, not that dingbats 'idea.'
Dumbasses, I am agreeing with you both, but it should be amended for the 21st century. I am saying HOW they are armed, not whether they are armed or not. It shouldn't be just about guns, but ALL arms.

Its purely under the comparison of "oh its not something I do or own so lets ban it"
The idea that the civilians in this country could stop the US military with any type of weaponry is fucking laughable. The only way you are not going to get crushed by the US military is when the commanding officers refuse orders.
