Is it "gun deaths" you're concerned about or murder rates? After all, murder is murder regardless of what implement may be used to commit the crime.
If it is actual murder rates we're concerned with, we should first understand that America doesn't make it into the top 100 countries when we rank murder rate per capita...despite all the firearms here.

Only guns. Shootings are welcome even if death is not involved, as long as guns are involved.
Can I ask, why? Why are you interested in shootings, and what is the point of the thread?

To illustrate how much gun violence there is in this country.
I am for gun control.

Why just "gun" violence and not overall violence rates, which are quite low in America?
Oh, and by the way, gun violence is decreasing in this country and has been for some time.
Gun violence is a nice phrase but is the way people shift stats to make it seem as if we are more violent than we are. They remove all the stats they don't like and focus on "guns".

Don't try to dodge the issue with semantics.

The issue is that some people lack morality and do violent things. The tool they use is irrelevant.

Prove it. Please, no nra statistics.
Oh, the denial.
The violent crime rate - which includes murder, rape, and beatings - is half of what it was in the early 1990s. And the violent crime rate involving the use of weapons has also declined at a similar pace.
Mass shootings are no more common than they have been in past decades, despite the impression given by the media. In fact, the high point for mass killings in the U.S. was 1929

Oh yeah> I can outrun a knife but not a bullet.

That's easy. Lots of sources, including government statistics, prove we're an increasingly safe society.

Mass killings are also on the decline:

And you won't find America among the countries with the highest murder rate per capita:
Murders (per capita) statistics - Countries Compared - NationMaster
The latest stats I've seen place the US at #102 for murder rates per capita. Pardon the wiki reference:
List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of course, there are other ways to look at "violent" crime. Rape is one way and in that case, the US doesn't make the top 50 list of countries with the highest rate of rape per capita:

So, not an NRA stat among them. Now what were you saying about denial?

You offered no gun violence statistics, only murder statistics. You never proved that gun violence statistics are getting low.
John Fund is not credible.
The subject is "gun" violence.
