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

According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019, guns were involved in 118,419 violent crimes and 300,234 fatal and non-fatal violent crimes. That works out to about 379.52 murders, 0.94 per 100,000 people, per year, with guns. So, gun murders represent about 6% of total murders, but gun crimes represent about 40% of all crimes.
