Not a criticism for you Kadath, but this tactic is quite common with groups such as HCI and MM. They like to compare two very dissimilar sets of statistics and make people believe they are the same.

HAH! Nope. There are 26,000 deaths(including legal intervention and suicides). 11,000 homicides! I am aware of the tactic. Thank you for allowing me to clarify my point.
However, I have realized you can't deep link into that page. Here is a link to the top.

Selecting Homicide ONLY (not "violence-related" which WOULD lump all that stuff in) and then firearm versus non-firearm, I got those numbers.
