3 laws could reduce firearm deaths by 90%...

This would be why the FBI tracks these numbers separately from criminal homicides, meaning that the FBI homicide numbers do not include these killings.

I know, that is why I posted it. He asked me to prove that those numbers were not in the statistics. So, I did.
 
Since you seem to have missed it when I posted it before, Gun Deaths by State and Murder Rates Nationally and By State | Death Penalty Information Center

A few states, rates of number per 100,000
state gun deaths Homicide
Illinois 8.2 5.3 Strict gun laws
California 7.7 4.4 Strict gun laws
New York 5.1 3.1 Strict gun laws

Oklahoma 14.4 4.5 Loose gun laws
Alaska 20.4 5.6

States with strict gun laws have a very low difference between gun deaths and homicides (all homicides, not just gun related). While states with looser gun laws see a major gap, sometimes 2-3 times higher gun deaths vs homicides.

You know when somebody is blowing smoke and have nothing when they start stacking the deck. There is absolutely no reason on this earth to have "gun anything" other that to stack the deck.

The claim of reducing "gun anything" by reducing ownership is no different and equally transparent as deck stacking big time.

I am always amazed how people believe gun control when every clam they make is a lie. It is guaranteed.

When you start including planned self inflicted stuff it is even worse.
