Again self-serving data is propagated, for example according to Table 17 (page 1 of 4). Age-adjusted death rates for selected causes of death, by sex, race, and Hispanic origin: United States, selected years 1950–2015 provided by CDC [https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus16.pdf#page135]

All causes, all persons, homicides is 12th cause listed, 1950 = 5.1% and 2015 = 5.7% highest percentage is 1980 at 10.4%.

You may, at your leisure and boredom puruse the rest of the table for ethnicity, age, ad,nauseam causes of data, but across the board the suicide data is relatively level after 68+ years of data?

Yes, the CDC is, if anything meticulous in their data collection and statistical analysis, but it seems there was a change in 1999 in the definition of ICD-10 cause of death coding criteria.

The CDC is a bunch of bullschumer liars. They'll fabricate any statistic to keep the American People alarmed regarding illegal firearms use. They have as much credibility as does CNN, NBC and MSNBC.

More leftist propaganda.

Why don't they research the cause of the homicide rather than the method? It seems a murderer will resort to any weapon to achieve their goal using guns, knives, blunt instruments whatever it takes.

Unfortunately gun haters reject honesty
