Murder and assault are two different things.

Assault is a lesser included charge of murder. Every murder involves an assault which is usually not charged because the murder is the primary charge. She's saying she wants statistics that show self-defense rather than criminal use of weapons.

Wanting those statistics is understandable but phrasing murder how she did is just misleading. It's like saying rape is when you commit battery.

I'll try to find those stats.

Justifiable homicide makes up a very small percentage of all gun related deaths.

Small percentage?!

Let's consider 2010...

table 15: 232 justifiable homicides by private citizens;
table 14: 385 justifiable homicides by law enforcement officers;
table 11: 8775 murders by means of firearms;

So you have killings out of which 6.6% are justified homicides out of which almost 38% are done by private citizens and just above 62% are committed by law enforcement.

I don't know about you but my opinion is that private citizens are doing a damn good job defending their own asses with their guns.

BINGO!!!
It's the INSANE person - not the weapon that commits the crime!

Thanks again for confirming this!
