car crashes
Approximately 405,000. This was 275,000 combat deaths, and 130,000 non-combat deaths. These were aircraft crashes, vehicle crashes, and other accidents.
I have no data on total deaths in 2006, but there were 43,200 deaths in traffic crashes in 2005.
Traffic crashes by far. Most recent stats I could find showed about 29,500 total firearm deaths in the US (not just handguns, all firearms). Traffic crashes accounted for about 42,500 deaths. If you're talking about accidental deaths (that is, many of the 29,500 firearm deaths are intentional), traffic accidents are much, much more likely to cause a death than an accidental firearm death.
Overall, there are more deaths from car accidents than both train collisions and airline crashes. However, when comparing train collisions and airline crashes specifically, there are typically more deaths from airline crashes due to the larger passenger capacity and higher speeds involved.
