Whether the statistics are 6 years old or 6 minutes old, the point remains the same .. the more guns, the more gun deaths .. and there is really no sane argument that disputes that.
AND .. the point of these and a plethora of other statistics that demonstrate the same thing .. criminals aren't the ones killing most of those who die by guns .. criminals aren't the ones killing the children of gun owners.
My point is, let those who want them have them .. they're just killing each other and their own children anyway.
I'm betting there is no element in society more happy about more guns than the criminal element.
Sure there's a point to arguing it. The more criminals willing to use guns, the more deaths would be FAR more accurate.
Criminals ARE the ones doing the killing. Unless you consider murder not a crime for the purposes of your argument.
The fact is, had Santa pulled out a gun in my ass I'd have shot his ass and there would have been 1 (count 'em) death. Criminals use guns. Get used to it. When they come to commit a crime and you don't, you are at their mercy.
Now, when you and whoever manage to come up a plan that works to get rid of each and every firearm on this planet, and I can give mine up last, I'll go with it. Then we can go back to killing each other with swords, knives, spears and clubs.
Until then, I'm keeping mine and voting against anyone trying take it away and if people like you have their way and get your little police state set up to take them, mine will have suddenly been "stolen."
