, researchers analyzed gun ownership numbers in all 50 states from 1990 to 2016; they then compared that data against homicides committed with and without a firearm, and overall. All told, they analyzed a total of 469,279 homicides committed in a 26-year period. The larger the gun-owning population was in any given state, the greater the number of domestic firearm homicides in that state.
The study siloed victims into three categories: all victims, male victims, and female victims; they did not account for nonbinary or gender-nonconforming people, likely because law enforcement tabulations have been slow to recognize those identities. "We're not the only country with a lot of guns," Kivisto told MTV News."We're the only country that struggles to live with them safely."that foundthey would kill their victim with it. In 2017, over half the women killed by firearms in the U.S. were killed by their partners.
Moreover, Kivisto tells MTV News that the study did account for such factors."To the extent that law enforcement is funded, more or less, we're not expecting that to only impact domestic homicide; you'd expect that to impact all forms of other violent crime," he pointed out.
