Climbskirun, you wanted data. All the data you want is available from the FBI in the form of their Uniform Crime Reports.
However, I'll give you an article which was published by the very left leaning Slate magazine last year after the post Sandy Hook, Obama mandated, CDC report on so-called "gun violence" was released. Slate's talking points are:
However, this ignores that some other developed countries have higher overall homicide rates. It also ignores that the overall violent crime rates are higher in many other countries, including the UK.
First, which developed countries have higher homicide rates than the US?
Second, you do know that the CDC did not produce ANY of the data in that article you quoted?
They were just reporting previous studies to define the current state of research to set research priorities for future research.
