January 19 is the first annual “Gun Appreciation Day,” and already we know at least five people were accidentally shot, but how many people across the country were shot outside of the “Appreciation” festivities?

Every day, an average of 88 people in America die from firearms. In 2011, 32,163 people died from guns.

A quick search on Google news for “shooting” on late Saturday night, “Gun Appreciation Day,” offered these headlines — not including the five accidental shootings at “Gun Appreciation Day” events. No doubt there are many that have yet to make their way to the press:
