FBI Statistics, Firearms 2019

**priell3** · July 13th, 2021, 10:04 AM

2019 is the most recent year with complete data on deaths by firearms from both the US Department of Justice and the US Center for Disease Control. (Can you imagine making personal decisions, today, based on two years old information? Welcome to the government!) But it is interesting that the numbers have been fairly consistent over the past few years. Here are the numbers for 2019.

The left-wing media and Democrat politicians will condemn guns and say there are 40,000 gun deaths every year. But the devil is in the details. Less than 4,000 homicides are related to incidents where there was neither suicides nor gang involvement nor police involvement. Those 4,000 homicides are 4 tenths of 1% of all gun owners. The biggest impact on gun related homicides would come if politicians focused on gang violence instead of lawful gun owners.

The above statistics give you factual numbers to rebut the wild anti-gun claims of the left. Of course, the left only believes in emotions and not facts.

The left wants more gun control laws which will only stop legal gun owners from possessing firearms. You*ve heard it many times before, *criminals don*t obey laws*.

Drilling down further...

Non-gang homicides MINUS justified shootings and accidents = 1,943 non-gang gun murders, which is only 5% of all firearms deaths.

The key problems are suicides (mental health) and gang violence, which combined account for 89% of gun deaths!

How many gun owners are there? That ratio seems off by a couple of decimal points.

Your right....by a LONG shot. We don*t know the number exactly(thank God), but the estimate is around 40% of the population Own a firearm or have a family member who owns one. So that*s around 145 Million firearms owners. Taking that 4000 homicides which are NON-gang related, means the ratio is 0.0027% of gun owners are involved homicides. 0.0027%!!
