Through a comprehensive study of war-related deaths as published by the Congressional Research Service and icasualties.org (which provides Afghanistan and Iraq death tolls) Politifact was able to determine that 1,171,177 Americans have been killed at war since our nation was born.
Conversely, they pulled data from the CDC and FBI to calculate the total number of gun-related deaths in American since 1968. That number is 1,384,171.
