The CDC puts out a table with causes of death listed. Gun deaths are not lumped together, but are spread out in different categories. See related links below and look at tables 10 and 11.
For example:
Accidental discharge of firearms: 642 deaths in 2006
Intentional self-harm(suicide) by discharge of firearms.: 16,883
Assault(homicide)by discharge of firearms.: 12,791
Discharge of firearms, undetermined intent.: 220
If you count all of these and If I didn't miss any categories, there were 30,536 gun-related deaths in 2006. This is out of 2,426,264 deaths in 2006 for all causes. So about 1.3% of deaths that year were gun related.

Is Mexico's death rate higher than US?
Mexico has a lower overall death rate than the US. Mexico's death rate is 4.9 persons per 1,000 while the US rate is 8.39 persons per 1,000. Keeping in mind that life expectancy is a better measure of the conditions of life than is the death rate. The death rate can be deceptive because it is influenced by the age structure of the population. Since Mexico has a much younger population than the US its rate would be much lower for the same life expectancy. In fact the US (about 78) has a higher life expectancy than Mexico (about 76).
