gun control stats - need help

[angsniper]

Guys, my daughter is writing a paper for school concerning the 2nd Amendment. Her professor has made statements that would lead me to believe that she is a gun control advocate.
I'm looking for tables/spreadsheets with numbers showing firearm deaths compared to other weapons as well as the rates compared to places with tougher gun laws or outright bans. She must be able to quote a source. I know some of this stuff has been posted in the past and I ran several searches that turned up a lot of info but this type of info. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The GOA website has a lot of info pertaining to that. (GunOwnersofAmerica)

Actually they don't. I've already looked there and there is only 1 fact sheet with a little info and it's dated 2008.

FBI crime stats?

She's writing on a laptop while on a road trip to her grandparents. Just trying to make it a little easier on her with maybe some spread sheets or tables comparing gun deaths to other deaths and death rates compared to places with stricter laws or bans. That way she wouldn't have to pull all the info out of articles.

Beware of any stats about "gun homicides." This term usually includes suicides and deaths of individuals engaged in criminal acts.

Why would you exclude some firearms deaths when doing a school paper about firearms deaths.

Isn't that what we call cherry picking?
