During a discussion I was having earlier regarding gun violence, a couple questions came up for which no one had a legitimate answer. Since we have a much larger group of people here on the Non-Sports board, I thought I'd post it here. If anyone wants to research the answers to these questions, feel free. If I have time, feel like it, and am able to successfully find the answers I'll post them in this thread - assuming no one else does. In the interim, I'd be interested in seeing what everyone thinks the answers will be. So, here goes...
1. In this decade, i.e., either the last 10 years or just the 2010s, what percentage of people murdered by firearms were murdered by the person or an immediate family member of the person who legally purchased the firearm?
2. How does that percentage compare to past decades?
