dude, c'mon :|

The data I've presented:

- Nationwide (USA), there are about 100 burglary-homicides every year.

- In 2010, unintentional firearm injuries caused the deaths of 606 people

Feel free to confirm the figures for yourself.

As a criminologist you should be on top of this kind of info ;)

Here it is for you:

From the FBI[1]:

2013: Total Murders 12,253, during burglary: 94

From the CDC[2]:

2013: 505 deaths due to accidental/negligent discharge of a firearm + 281 deaths due to firearms-use with "undetermined intent"
