Thanks for pointing this out Wendy, we'll look into it. The inconsistency may have arisen on account of the different sources used to compile the information.

Murders with firearms: 20,032
This number is definitely not true, please check your sources.

It would be interesting to know how many of these murders are due to terrorism as the violence in the South may influence the statistics.
