one glaring omission they failed to mention this is 2013 where are 2012 and first quarter 2013 stats, come back and talk about it when you can prove your record for number dismemberment is supportted by someone other then your side.

my turn i think the right wing cooked the numbers, there have been 3300 dead since Sandy Hook.  and the wmd factories keep churning them out.  they have 3D printers now that can print out a gun that works in plastic, 

new laws to authorize killing under the guise of standing your ground or carry permits in bars, you think drunken racist won't seize the day on that one

According to a report released Tuesday by the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics, the number of firearm-related homicides declined 39 percent from 1993 to 2011. Non-fatal firearm crimes dropped 69 percent during the same period.

There were 11,101 firearm-related homicides in 2011, the report said, compared to 18,253 in 1993. The decline was part of a multi-year downward trend.

In 2011, there were 467,300 non-fatal firearm crimes, according to the report, down from 1.5 million such crimes in 1993. The steep decline was also part of a multi-year trend.

The data released Tuesday showed that a very small fraction of crime victims used a gun to defend themselves. "In 2007-11, about one percent of victims in all nonfatal violent crimes reported using a firearm to defend themselves during the incident," said the press release accompanying the report. "A small number of property crime victims also used a firearm in self-defense—about 0.1 percent of all property victimizations."

The report said that 60 percent of state prison inmates arrested for a gun-related crime obtained their guns legally: 37 percent from family or friends, 10 percent from a retail or pawn shop and just 2 percent from a gun show or flea market.
