Gun stats in America are usually pretty slanted.

For instance Detroit has a very high murder rate but it also has the highest justifiable homicide rate (about 5 per week) which is statistically counted as murder.

Crime stats only include criminal homicides, which exclude justifiable homicides (i.e. self-defense and typical cop-related shootings).
