Slovakia: murders 138 murders with firearms 2356 ??? |
|
Marian 13th January 2010 |
Slovakia's number of 2,356 is a complete non-sense. There were e.g. 94 homicides in Slovakia in total in 2008. http://www.minv.sk/?statistika-kriminality-kopia |

Dear Lady/Sir, Ufortunately some of your figures are so off limits as to be idiotic.. you say that over 2000 murders were committed with a firearm in Slovakia when the total number of murders in SK have of late hovered around 120-130 per year. (Total murders, nix firearms!) Ditto Czech Republic - which in the past 5 years had a total number of murders around 200 annually - or so. (2005 - 181 total murders; 2006 - 231; 2007, 2008 - about 200 or so). In 2006 about 14 murders were committed with legally held handgun. So your figure of over 170 firearm murders is nonsense, it usually hovers around 25-40, whereby most murders are committed by illegally held guns. Pls. check these figures if you don't believe me and change your statistics accordingly! Thank you. Best regards, Petr Havlicek |

In the United States in 2001, firearms were used in 63 percent of murders, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics National Crime Victimization Survey . The FBI reported that there were 15,980 murders and non-negligent homicides in the United States that year, so about 10,000 people were murdered with guns. Seventy-six percent of murder victims and 90 percent of murderers were male. In cases where the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim was known, only 24 percent of the murders were committed by a stranger. The most commonly cited circumstance leading to murder is an argument, which was reported in 28 percent of homicides. Seventeen percent of the time, murders occurred in connection with another felony, such as a robbery or a drug deal. |
