hundreds every day!!!
Sigh. More BS hype. According to the FBI, in 2005, there were about 16,700 murders in the U.S. This includes murders by all types of weapons. 16,692 divided by 365 days is only a little over 45 each day, and that includes all types of weapons. In 2006, the number of murders in the U.S. was just over 17,000. In 2007, it was a little under 17,000. That is NOWHERE NEAR "hundreds every day," and that includes murders from all types of weapons. People should post facts that can be verfied, not crap that they hear. besides i like cheeeeeze
None. Murders are committed by people, not by guns.
The "better" question would be "how many murders, rapes, and robberies are prevented by home guns ?"
No way to know. You can get bits and pieces from various government reports across the world, but, at best it is not accurate.
a lot
400
.05%
As there are many unsolved murders this cannot be known.
15,241
Lots!
In the US, about 45 murders are commited a day. So i would say about 60-100 murders in Ohio each year.
California, despite having very stringent guns laws. In 2007, California had 2260 murders. On a National average, 70.3% of murders involved a firearm. For some additional reading, try the FBI crime report: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/offenses_reported/violent_crime/murder.html
