One particular anti-gun extremist tries to lie about gun ownership implying that most gun murder is by people you know......implying, and often just stating, that the killer is a husband, boyfriend and the victim is a girlfriend or wife...
So....we have to ban 600 million guns....
Gun murder in 2019........ 10,258....the majority of the victims are criminals murdered by other criminals...
So how do they lie about "knowing," your killer?

The most accurate crime statistics involve homicides, particularly murders. The most easily solved homicides are murders of passion between intimates. The hardest homicides to solve are those where there is no connection between the murderer and the victim.
The largest category of victims in the FBI reports of victim relationships to their murderer is unknown. In 2019, those victims are 49% of the total. It is a huge number. Some of this is because FBI Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) are often filed before an investigation is complete. As murders of passion among intimates are the easiest to solve, this means a much higher percentage of strangers and acquaintances fall into the unknown category when the UCR report is filled out.
The clearance rate for murder in 2019 was 59%. This means 41% were not solved. About 84% of the murderers who are unknown by the time of the UCR report remain unknown. It is likely most of the 16% solved are not intimate partner murders. Those that are, are unlikely to have been living with their victim.
The clearance rate for murder in 2020 dropped to 54.4%.
The slightest connection to you counts as you “knowing” them. The gang-banger who was in your remedial English class in community college, the drug dealer you filed a report about, the laborer who cleaned up your neighbor’s yard, the person who involved you in a fender-bender, the high school classmate who was always in trouble, are all counted as an acquaintance. So are addicts’ suppliers, criminals’ associates, and members of a gang.
The next largest category is members of the immediate family. They are 11%. This is who most people place in the category as “known”. This includes estranged and ex-family, such as ex-wives and ex-husband.
Then to inflate the “known” numbers, they assume the murderers who are unknown have the same percentage of immediate family and relationships as those where the relationship is known. It is a bad assumption.
Applying the misleading math used by Gun Control Advocates to the 2019 figures creates that false figure that 80% of murderers are “known” to their victims.
A more realistic appraisal is unknown, stranger, and acquaintance categories make up 79% of murderers. Of the remaining 21%, a large number are ex-spouses, ex-boyfriend/girlfriends, and estranged family and friends.
The numbers of exes and estranged are not reported. A great many domestic homicides occur between ex-spouses, ex-boyfriends/girlfriends, and estranged others.
It is likely the number of people who murder someone living with them, when determined, will be less than 10% of the total.
More and more people are effectively defending themselves against people they know who have become deadly enemies.

So-Called Known Murderers
The next largest category of murderers is acquaintances. It is 20%. These are included in people you “know”.The slightest connection to you counts as you “knowing” them. The gang-banger who was in your remedial English class in community college, the drug dealer you filed a report about, the laborer who cleaned up your neighbor’s yard, the person who involved you in a fender-bender, the high school classmate who was always in trouble, are all counted as an acquaintance. So are addicts’ suppliers, criminals’ associates, and members of a gang.
The next largest category is members of the immediate family. They are 11%. This is who most people place in the category as “known”. This includes estranged and ex-family, such as ex-wives and ex-husband.
Then come strangers, at 10%. These are the hardest murderers to catch.
- Boyfriend/girlfriend is at 5%. This includes ex-boyfriend/girlfriends.
- Other family is 2%.
- Friends are at 2%.
- Neighbors are 1%
Acquaintances Aren’t Family
To create the misleading statistic that most murderers are “known” to their victim, those who want you to believe self-defense is futile, include acquaintance with family, friends, and neighbors.Then to inflate the “known” numbers, they assume the murderers who are unknown have the same percentage of immediate family and relationships as those where the relationship is known. It is a bad assumption.
