Guns and crime [View all]

In 2013, guns were used to murder 11,208 people and injure 84,258 during criminal activity. That total is 95,466 people shot.


Ignoring that the same guns are often used over and over in crime, let's pretend that a different gun was used for all 95,466 of those crimes. Then compare that number with the over 300,000,000 guns in private hands. That's about 0.03% of the guns in the US or 1 out of 3,100 is used in a crime.


Make no mistake; the triggers don't pull themselves even though I hear a lot...
...that guns kill people. Are the other 3,099 guns broken?
