1st ... Most surveys are trumped up to suit the agenda of those taking the poll.
2nd .. these stats do not show how many are actual murders.
3rd.. the stats don't indicate which part of the population legally own firearms. Ie ... Are they illegal guns and the injuries from the largely populated cities.
I live in a very small community in NY and I can't remember when someone was injured with a firearm even though a great majority own them.
