2020 FBI Homicides by Weapon

Zion Patriot,

The annual FBI homicide report by weapons for 2020 breaking down how many people were killed by each weapon. I have combined the “automatic” with the regular guns for brevity. Note that the FBI does not have a separate category for AR/AK style rifles, but instead they are listed as “Rifles”.
