You are far more likely to be killed by someone you know or someone of your own race than by someone of a different rate. There are later meaningful numbers available. They just are not the complete workup with them divided out by race, income and all of the other categories. Here is an article from breitbart breitbart.com At least one guy claims 2013 is on track to have the lowest homicide rate in a century slate.com There is a reason why anecdotal evidence is only useful in pointing where to look. Your perception of a rise in homicides is not grounded in reality. As far as the guns go, the problem is that if you are a victim of violence, the odds of which have been declining, the odds of you winding up dead has been climbing. And it is much higher than in other countries with saner gun laws.
