People like to say things like, "There are hundreds every day!" but that isn't correct. According to the FBI, the total number of murders is between (approximately) 15,500 and just over 17,000 each year, but that is murders with all types of weapons. Using the highest figure, 17,000, that puts the total number of murders in the U.S. at just over 46 per day. It looks like the percentage of those murders committed with firearms is about 68%. However, for reference, it should be noted that only about 25-28% of aggravated assaults involve guns, so the fact that 68% of murders involve guns, doesn't mean that 68% of all crime involves guns.
