No, not even close. Tornadoes in the United States kill an average of about 60 people per year. The highest death toll in a single year from tornadoes in the U.S. was 747 with an overall decrease in deaths since the 1940s.
By contrast, over 30,000 people in the U.S. die from gunshot wounds annually.
