Gun homicides have dropped steeply in the United States since their 1993 peak, a pair of reports released Tuesday showed, adding fuel to Congress' battle over whether to tighten restrictions on firearms.

A study released Tuesday by the government's Bureau of Justice Statistics found that gun-related homicides dropped from 18,253 in 1993 to 11,101 in 2011. That's a 39 percent reduction.

Another report by the private Pew Research Center found a similar decline by looking at the rate of gun homicides, which compares the number of killings to the size of the country's growing population. It found that the number of gun homicides per 100,000 people fell from 7 in 1993 to 3.6 in 2010, a drop of 49 percent.

It does say "homicides" in there...but don't know for sure. and not sure why it would matter.

we both tend to jump into the fray. Likely he was getting tag teamed, he was especially stupid that day if memory recalls.....very possible..

I got the feeling from the thread last night that Buccs wasn't a big fan of Jake McGee

The Rays bullpen has won more games for the Jays this year than the Jays have won for themselves

well, technically a suicide can be a gun related death

thats why

most people off themselves that way i imagine, not by hammer

how do you get shut out in Coors field?

Yankees rarely do anything ever against lefties, but at least Girardi can feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside that at least the person flailing at the plate batted from the right side

-The gun suicide rate is 6.3 per 100,000 people, and there were 19,392 suicides by firearms in 2010. That rate has declined more slowly than the firearms homicide rate, with 6 in 10 gun deaths now suicides, the highest proportion since at least 1981.

-More than 8 in 10 victims of gun homicides are men and boys.

-Fifty-five percent of gun homicide victims in 2010 were black, far beyond their 13 percent share of the population.

Some factoids, including suicides...here's the link if you're interested.
