Once again with the "criminal" boogeyman, eh?
Quote:From 1993 to 2008, among homicides reported to the FBI for which the victim-offender relationship was known, between 21% and 27% of homicides were committed by strangers and between 73% and 79% were committed by offenders known to the victims.
If all the guns magically disappeared, homicides would still occur. I would imagine that 73% to 79% of all homicide offenders would still have been known by their victims.
This isn't a compelling statistic.
