This source shows the lowest number of gun deaths a year from 1996 as 130. Actual murders will be lower than this figure, but do you have a source? http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/compareyears/192/total_num...

Sorry, that was simply an error. I think I meant to attach that bracket to the number of shootings by police, or possibly of police.

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20160105160709/htt... p11 puts gun deaths of police officers at <1 per year.
