The NRA data does provide the government publications where they pulled there info. It wasn't CDC info(and the Center for Disease Control is in my opinion out of its proper role when it tries to deal with such issues) but there was data from the FBI crime reports. I tried going directly to the FBI crime reports but I didn't feel like spending hours pouring over the reports. "Baltimore County. During the first 9 months of 1990, out of 644 weapons logged in to the Baltimore County Police Property Room, only 2 were "assault weapons." Out of 305 murders in the City of Baltimore in 1990, only 7 (2.3 %) involved rifles and shotguns of any kind, much less politically incorrect semiautomatic rifles or shotguns" - Hearings, supra note 18, at 77 (quoting a March 13, 1989 article in the Akron Beacon-Journal that included an interview with Akron patrolman Robert Offret. Offret works in the patrol's property room). Most of the sources for stats on both that NRA page on others are publications not web links. If you that interested you can look up the publications, or dig through the FBI crime reports. Tim
