"Gun wound" as in a wound caused by (actively) using a gun, or a bullet wound, typically caused by someone else using a gun? I could understand the former (like excluding accidents while skiing, skydiving, whatever), but excluding the latter seem pretty cynical.

The vast majority of gun wounds in the US are purposeful crimes or suicides
For deaths, there's maybe 300 accidental deaths, 10,000 - 15,000 homicides, and like 60,000 suicides. Non-death injuries scale similarly, with the caveat that like 6,000 ish people per year try to kill themselves with a gun and fail, but still injure themselves.
