Homicide trends in the U.S.

Weapons used

<h1 class="sentencehead">Homicides are most often committed with guns,

especially handguns </h1>

Like the homicide rate generally, gun-involved incidents increased sharply in the late 1980's and early 1990's before falling to a low in 1999. The number of gun-involved homicides increased thereafter to levels experienced in the mid 1980's.

During this same time period, homicides involving weapons other than firearms have declined slightly.

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 declined through 1999, but have increased since then.
  • The sharp increase in homicides from the mid-1980's through the early 1990's and much of the subsequent decline is attributable to gun violence by juveniles and young adults.

Silly libriot. Guns are inanimate objects. :lol:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

:lol: Remember Rat Patrol?

And of course the dealer's first line of defense is the argument that if your home is broken into, it'll be handy to have a gun.

Unless you're black because your neighbor will call the police if they see you trying to force your way into your own home.

So this car dealer is a communist?

Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people. Makes it all better right?

Sweet, another anti gunner.

Just when you thought they had all given up.

Not anti-gun. Just concerned about the considerable number of ***holes that use them for evil.
