61. garbage stats is what is in the OP. Who cares what percent of violent crime is commited by guns
If we didn't have guns, they'd use blades. The real stat of value is the total rate of violence and by now many people should be aware that I am posting a real stat here backed by real statistical method.

Living in a nation with low civilian gun possession rate results in a 5 times greater chance of being murdered (by any weapon)
