Does anyone have any stats on the victims of gun violence over the past several years in how it relates to their roles in the incidents?
(ie. How many people killed by guns are perps and aggressors, and how many are innocents...)
It seems like the majority of people killed by guns are innocents, but maybe the perception isn't reality... I honestly don't know. I realize that this stats could be skewed by gang violence where innocence is relative on any given day (ie. a person may have been minding their own business the day they were killed, but had done something aggressive in the past to provoke the incident).
For every "bad" guy killed by police or in self-defense, how many innocent people have to be killed by guns to make it a fair trade off?
