What would be interesting would be to compare this to the number of missing persons and the rate of suicides, etc. I hate to say it but I think there may be some murder statistics that are under reported...because there might be official interest in not reporting something as a murder? Tyranny has few boundaries and, unfortunately, power corrupts.

Re: Murder rates in the US by state and type
Mon, October 5, 2009 - 6:08 PMIt says, that you are likley to get shot by a gun in Ill, however; Ill has no conceal carry gun laws. Illinois = (530 murders). Compare that to Utah, at (23 total murders), with their "must issue" conceal carry gun law. An armed society is a polite society! -

Mon, October 5, 2009 - 10:01 PM41 one murders. 23 by gun? Again, is an under-reported murder rate accurate?

Actually, no. A polite society is a polite society. Or are you saying that before there were guns folks were much less polite?

Re: Murder rates in the US by state and type
Tue, October 6, 2009 - 9:14 PMHow were the numbers skewed? You seem to be confusing 'skewed' with 'reported'. I'll agree with you though that they're skewed...just for the sake of argument. Basically, the number of deaths due to guns is higher than the murder rate. To see the true number, we'd have to look at accidental injuries due to firearms as well.
