1,225 was the number of firearm homicides recorded in 2013, according to that publication. 1,699 was the number of homicides where a weapon was "known".

But yeah, still totally off, AFAICT. I also wonder where she got the supposed 2016 data, given that 2016 hasn't happened yet.

Other interesting tidbits from that PDF: almost as many people were killed with ropes, as with rifles. About half as many were killed with knives and blunt objects as were with handguns. Hardly epidemic, if you ask me. Considering how much more convenient it is to kill somebody with a firearm, you wonder why it's not really that much more popular.
