Homicides in the U.S.


From a study by Richard Johnson, Ph.D.
Criminal Justice Program
University of Toledo
Of the 56,259 homicides from 2009-2012, 755 were the result of negligent accident homicides (i.e., child playing with a gun)
For me this is the most horrifying statistic.and an argument for criminal action against  gun makers and sellers that ignore modern technology that prevents such actions. Those gun owners themselves should be charged with manslaughter 1 at a minimum regardless of what the NRA's Wayne Laphew might argue.
