incorrect, on the conservative side when asked about firearm use for self defense it was found that guns were used ~250k times a year. compared to 30k gun deaths a year it would be highly unlikely to be a significant increase in injury rates over self defense rates. what you are referencing is the anti-gun gish gallop where people present statistics regardless of method or integrity. specifically one in particular were they claim you are more likely to shoot yourself with a gun you own than someone who doesn't own any, which is like saying your odds of drowning in your pool go up when you get one, obviously.
