ANSWER

If you're asking what percentage of Australian citizens are killed by gun fire, the answer is surprising.

The Report by the 'Australian Institute of Criminology' into the 510 homicides across Australia between July 2008 and June 2010 [latest figures released] found that

-Guns killed 13% [but was 25% in 1989-90 ]

-Knives killed 41% [but was 30% in 1989-90]

In other words, more than 3 times as many people are killed by knives rather than guns. This disparity is set to increase - just ask the cops.

[ Stats From article 'Murders at a low, but knife use on the rise' in the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia
