There are many safe gun owners in the United States. I wonder though, how many murders, percentage-wise, are accomplished, with guns?

According to FBI statistics, roughly 67% of criminal homicides in the United States in 2017 involved firearms. The vast majority of gun owners are safe and responsible citizens who obey gun safety laws and use their guns for recreational and self-defense purposes. However, gun violence continues to be an unfortunately pervasive problem nationwide. Even guns used legally in a safe and responsible way can be involved in thefts, accidental shootings, or other unintentional tragedies.
