[QUOTE="Spata, post: 2188768, member: 1455"] Here's some highlights. [url]http://bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf[/url] [B]Firearm-related homicides declined 39%, from 18,253 in 1993 to 11,101 in 2011[/B] Nonfatal firearm crimes declined 69%, from 1.5 million victimizations in 1993 to 467,300 victimizations in 2011. For both fatal and nonfatal firearm victimizations, the majority of the decline occurred during the 10-year period from 1993 to 2002. Firearm violence accounted for about 70% of all homicides and less than 10% of all nonfatal violent crime from 1993 to 2011. About 70% to 80% of firearm homicides and 90% of nonfatal firearm victimizations were committed with a handgun from 1993 to 2011. [B]From 1993 to 2010, males, blacks, and persons ages 18 to 24 had the highest rates of firearm homicide.[/B] In 2007-11, about 23% of victims of nonfatal firearm crime were injured. About 61% of nonfatal firearm violence was reported to the police in 2007-11. In 2007-11, less than 1% of victims in all nonfatal violent crimes reported using a firearm to defend themselves during the incident. [U]In 2004, among state prison inmates who possessed a gun at the time of offense, less than 2% bought their firearm at a flea market or gun show[/U] [COLOR="#FF0000"](unpossible all criminals get their illegal guns @ gunshows)[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
