We've even had record low rates during 2011 and 2012.

The annual rate of firearm homicide per 100,000 population is:

Attachment 52298

Whilst this set of figures is one perspective and represents sadly actual deaths it may be misleading on the actual extent of firearms crime. In 1990 for example David Grey was probably the total contributor to that year's statistic.
