The numbers also show that fewer people were killed with shotguns (235) than with knives or blunt objects. However, the vast majority of homicides (6,603) were committed with handguns. The FBI crime statistics show that 10,265 murders were committed by firearms, all types, in 2018: 6,603 murders by handguns; 297 by rifles; 235 by shotguns; 167 by “other guns”; and 2,963 by “firearms, type not stated.” Expanded Homicide Data Table 8 Murder Victims by Weapon, 2014–2018 Download Excel Weapons 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Total 12,278 13,780 15,318 15,195 14,123 Total firearms: 7,803 9,103 10,372 11,006 10,265   Handguns 5,342 6,176 6,762 7,051 6,603   Rifles 235 215 300 390 297   Shotguns 238 247 247 264 235   Other guns 88 151 172 180 167   Firearms, type not stated 1,900 2,314 2,891 3,121 2,963   Knives or cutting instruments 1,545 1,525 1,558 1,609 1,515 Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.) 431 436 464 472 443 Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.)1 668 647 664 710 672 Poison 9 8 12 15 5 Explosives 6 1 1 0 4 Fire 55 63 78 96 72 Narcotics 70 69 118 110 78 Drowning 12 12 9 8 9 Strangulation 84 96 97 89 70 Asphyxiation 93 105 92 111 90 Other weapons or weapons not stated 1,502 1,715 1,853 969 900 1 Pushed is included in personal weapons. NOTE: The Uniform Crime Reporting Technical Refresh enables updating of prior years' crime data; therefore, data presented in this table may not match previously published data. While there were 1,515 homicides by “knives or cutting instruments” in 2018, there were 1,698 knife murders in 2017, 1,558 in 2016, and 1,525 in 2015. Five people were murdered by poison in 2018; four by explosives; 72 by fire; 78 by narcotics (homicides); nine by drowning; 70 by strangulation; and 90 by asphyxiation. Another 900 people were killed by “other weapons or weapons not stated.” According to a Pew research report, “protection tops the list of reasons why gun owners have a gun…. Two-thirds of gun owners (67%) say this as a major reason why they own a firearm.” The study also said that “regardless of whether they live in an urban, suburban or rural area, Americans are much more likely to cite protection than other considerations as a major reason for owning a gun.” Rifle such as the AR-15, which looks like some of the long guns you see in military or action movies, are usually set up to fire 223 Remington ammo or 5.56 mm NATO ammo. Gun control advocates and many Democratic politicians want to ban the AR-15. “Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” presidential contender Beta O'Rourke said during a debate. Poster Comment: Ye gods, what a nightmare to reformat these tables to post in an article. Every time I do it (using a very powerful programmable text editor with regular expression search-and-replace), I swear "never again". Which lasts until the next time I want to post such a table. OTOH, I have become far more expert in regexps as a result of this useless habit. Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1.

It is a most excellent reformatted table, but for the life of me I don't know what is meant by "pushed" as a personal weapon. watchman  posted on  2019-10-10   22:35:23 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #2. To: Tooconservative (#0) a very powerful programmable text editor with regular expression search-and-replace Dayum! How come this isn't found in the list of weapons. Must be included in the "Other weapons or weapons not stated" watchman  posted on  2019-10-10   22:52:09 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #3. To: watchman (#1) It is a most excellent reformatted table, but for the life of me I don't know what is meant by "pushed" as a personal weapon. I noticed it too and thought it indicates the victim was pushed off a cliff, pushed in front of a bus or train, etc. Dayum! How come this isn't found in the list of weapons. I know, right? But then someone would have to explain to everyone what regexps are. It's one of the dark arts of computer science. I could point you toward Wiki's explanation of regular expressions and your eyes would totally glaze over in about 10 seconds. It's not as bad as learning something like calculus but it has a very steep learning curve. Regexps are a powerful descriptive language to allow you to search-replace very complicated text strings with excruciating precision. If you know how to use it. I've been using them for 10 years or more and still haven't mastered the look-ahead/look-behind and bookmarking operations, mostly because I don't need such devilishly complex text manipulations. I was trying to think of a complex regexp example I could post here to show how you use regexps and the regexp syntax required (which looks like some toddler pounded a keyboard at random). It is very very dense notation, hard to read even for nerds. I wrote an example of how to validate and transform phone numbers. Then I decided you probably don't want to read something that horrible. So I decided to delete that example so you wouldn't have to pretend to read it. LOL Tooconservative  posted on  2019-10-11   0:34:43 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #4. To: Tooconservative (#3) pushed off a cliff, pushed in front of a bus or train, or pushed a slug into the barrel of my shotgun But then someone would have to explain to everyone what regexps are. I'm probably the only one in the room who doesn't know what regexps are. But I would love to know how you went from herding cows to "the dark arts of computer science". Maybe there is hope for me...well...probably not;-/ So I decided to delete that example Thanks for that act of kindness...but sometimes...you just scare me, TC watchman  posted on  2019-10-11   7:26:10 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #5.
