Here's the actual report:

The above linked post cherry picks data in an attempt to make a point.
And be careful with table 12. For instance, it only shows 3 homicides in Alabama, am artifact of the filter used to derive Table 12. In actual fact there were 407 murders in Alabama in 2016.

Table shows total handgun murders = 7105 with 930 from CA.

And an additional 3263 nationwide from firearms type unknown.

1806 from weapons "other"

Total firearms murders in CA = 1368 (of 1930 total murders) = about 70%


So CA, with the toughest firearms laws in the country, still has the highest number of murders related to firearms!

Statistically Murder by firearms is:

CA Population 40,000,000.
Total murders: 1,930 = 0.0048250% - 4 Thousandths of one percent
Murders by Firearms:1,368 = 0.0034200% - 3 Thousandths of one percent
Murders by Handgun: 930 = 0.0023250% - 2 Thousandths of one percent
Murders by Rifle: 37 = 0.0000925% - 925 Hundred Thousandths of one percent
Murders by Shotgun: 36 = 0.0000925% - 9 Hundred Thousandths of one percent
Murders by unknown firearms: 365 = 0.0009125% - 9 Ten thousandths of one percent
Murders by knives or cutting instruments: 280 = 0.0007000% - 7 Ten thousandths of one percent
Murders by other weapons, (Blunt Instruments): 193 = 0.0004825% - Ten thousandths of one percent
Murders by Hands, Fists, Feet: 89 = 0.0002225% - 2 Ten thousandths of one percent

Murder by use of ALL weapons is statistically insignificant.

Pool Drownings: 740 = 0.0018500%
Accidental overdose: 4,659 = 0.0116475%
Car Accident: 3,074 = 0.0076850%

Yeah, but do you think that maybe that raw number being high has anything to do with the fact that we have 12% of the total population of the US?? Sort of like there are more murders in LA than in Lodi.

That's why the murder rate, or murders per 100,000 population is a better number to look at. California is around 4.8 per 100,000.

The rates very from 1.1 per 100,000 in New Hampshire to 24.2 in DC.

BTW, California had about 11% of the total firearm murders with just over 12% of the population of the US.

All this money spent on promoting gun control but the No. 3 cause of death in America is medical errors.

The most expensive service you will ever pay for is most likely to kill you!
