Subject: Re: Fw: Statistics do not lie
I wanted to use the information you provided but felt I needed a cite - so I
found
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm for 2010 homicides
and note that it gives the firearm homicide rate as 3.6 (not much difference -
but a bit lower).
I can't find a CDC cite for 1990, but
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/misc/atlasres.pdf gives the average annual number
deaths for 1998-92 as 23,632 homicides, 15,769 by firearm. (again, about 2/3,
66.7%) This gives rates/100,000 (using a US 1990 population of 248,709,873 -
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_United_States_Census) of 9.5 and 6.3 .
It's interesting that the 2010 "All homicides" rate is 5.3 and that about 2/3
(68.1%) of the homicides were by firearms. Reading the popular media would make
one think it was 90+%.

According to the CDC, the 2010 overall US gun homicide rate is about 3.7 per
100,000 [in 1990, it was about 7.5]. The rate for the largest 50 cities is
4.3.
