Well...it depends on what you mean, sort of. Generally speaking, people are killed with handguns far less than they are killed in other ways. For instance, more people are killed each year in car wrecks than by being shot with a gun.

If you mean in criminal attacks, actually, the answer is the same. I don't happen to have the current FBI statistics in front of me at the moment, but pretty consistently, handguns are used in only about 1/3 of all crime. The remaining 2/3 involve weapons other than handguns, such as knives, Baseball bats, and other contact weapons.
