All killings are unlawful. Do these stats include deaths by hunting accident? Do they clearly identify if any were caused by licensed gun owners? I know you see where I’m going here. I remember reading an article where Dr’s were inflating gun crimes by including kids being shot by BB guns. Those doctors had no idea if the BB guns used were PAL rated and considered as firearms. Yes, we can spin Stats anyway we want. Pollsters make good livings off stats.
