I hate that people are debasing your arguments with hyperbole, as I do respect that you honestly hold these views and believe them supported.
However, this number is not verifiable at all and the numbers of gun deaths, crimes, etc are verifiable. Saying they are both wrong is disingenuous. This 2500 number is either made up out of thin air or taken from one of two survey studies of gun owners that has not only been thoroughly debunked, but were also likely not only flawed, but likely fraudulent. That number doesn't have any more fact behind it than me saying it.
Having said that, it is verifiable to say that a gun is far more likely to do bad things than good things.
The only argument for no gun control is to say these lives lost are just the price that must be paid to allow unfettered access to guns which is some inalienable right
