Firearms have been a major cause of death over the years. Available deaths data covering the period 1979-2002 show that, in 1987, the year in which the highest number of firearm-related deaths was recorded, there were 711 such fatalities. Hospitalisations data covering a recent one-year period (2001-2002) record 443 cases of firearm-related hospitalisation over that period.
