Best Answer

The US Department of Justice and the FBI's uniform crime reports break down things a bit differently. For instance you have "Firearms crimes" which list all crimes where a firearm was involved or "Murder" with a firearm; but not firing the weapon. These reports also break it down in two different ways, by a "per-capita" and absolute numbers.

Murder: Per capita of 100,000 people - Washington DC with 31.2%; California with 1,360 (murders by firearms), c.2009

Crime with Firearm involved: Per capita of 100,000 people - Louisiana at 79.5% (no direct number could be found).
