According to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) in 2005, 477,040 victims of violent crimes stated that they faced an offender with a firearm.


Incidents involving a firearm represented 9% of the 4.7 million violent crimes of rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated and simple assault in 2005.


The FBI's Crime in the United States estimated that 66% of the 16,137 murders in 2004 were committed with firearms.

AND HERE ARE A FEW MORE>>>>>

Gun homicides by teens and young adults rose sharply
beginning with the mid-1980's and fell after the early 1990's
Gun homicides by persons 18-24 years old declined after the peak in 1993 but have not returned to the levels seen prior to the mid 1980's.


The trend in nongun homicides shows little change, declining or fluctuating slightly for all age groups.


Gun homicides by adults 25 and older reflect a general downward trend, although they increased slightly in recent years.


The sharp increase in homicides in the late 1980's and much of the subsequent decline is attributable to gun violence by juveniles and young adults

If you love guns, cool...I like going to the range as much as anybody...However, I freely admit that guns are dangerous and there are too many cheap easy to get handguns flooding our streets
