  • In 2008, the U.S. had over 12 thousand firearm-related homicides. All of Japan experienced only 11, fewer than were killed at the Aurora shooting alone. And that was a big year: 2006 saw an astounding two, and when that number jumped to 22 in 2007, it became a national scandal. By comparison, also in 2008, 587 Americans were killed just by guns that had discharged accidentally.

    As of June 2013, 4233 people have been killed by guns. The Southeast, which has relatively looser gun laws, contributes 37% (vs. the Northeast, which is more densely populated and all contributes 17%). Using the US mortality data from the World Health Organization, researchers calculated that approximately 185,866 years have been stolen (so far in 2013 alone).

    Obviously this site is biased (basically the opposite of the NRA), but it seems like they have some pretty good stats. And if you want to look up gun laws by state: http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws-matter-2012-understanding-the-link-between-weak-laws-and-gun-violence/ And you can just click on the state and it'll give a summary of that state's gun laws.
