Murder Weapons 2011

10. Regarding the word FACTS.

Re Post #4. This claim that that he’s posted facts, is in error.
The total number of (estimated) murders by the FBI’s UCR, (as I posted #1) for 2011, was NOT 12,664.
Re ur #2 As with every other year u posted, that number is NOT the total number of murders. The FACT is, that the FBI’s UCR states quite clearly the total number of murders for 2011 was 14,612. To some this difference is of no significance. Poster # 2 provides a link to Expanded Homicide Data Table 8. That linked Table #8, is compiled using information from the Supplementary Homicide Data. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program of the FBI collects supplementary homicide data that provides information regarding the age, sex, and race of the murder victim and offender; the type of weapon used; the relationship of the victim to the offender; and the circumstance surrounding the incident.
Of the total 14,612 murders, weapons data was received for 12,664. Of the homicides for which the FBI received weapons data, most (67.8 percent) involved the use of firearms.


To the OP, I did not mean to criticize you.
