Well, you could try http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcgvintl.html While this is on a page advocating gun ownership, the statistics cited are from non-partisan sources.
For some breakdown of US homicides by race, try http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a39235bd43dd9.htm once again, this is a partisan page, but the stats straight from the US Gov. (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/homtrnd.htm)

Doesn't anyone besides myself know how to use a search engine, or check numbers before posting?
Sure, but I wanted to know why the earlier url I posted DID NOT mention murder rates, along with all the violent crime it did list. Anyone can find out what the numbers are, but will those numbers tell the story of why the most violent of violent crimes was elided from that story? Reese
