    You want data back to 1992? Go get it yourself, we know that you won't as it would prove you wrong.

    Here's something to chew on though:
    In 2005-10, about 10% of violent victimizations committed by strangers involved a firearm, compared to 5% committed by offenders known to the victim.
    From 1993 to 2008, among homicides reported to the FBI for which the victim-offender relationship was known, between 21% and 27% of homicides were committed by strangers and between 73% and 79% were committed by offenders known to the victims.
    Since the inception of the Brady Act (1994), over 118 million applications for firearm transfers or permits were subject to background checks. About 2.1 million applications, or 1.8%, were denied.
    In 2010, 1.5% of the 10.4 million applications for firearm transfers or permits were denied by the FBI (approximately 73,000) or by state and local agencies (approximately 80,000).
    Among the 21 state agencies that reported reasons for denial, a felony conviction or indictment was the most common reason to deny an application in 2010 (31%). A state law prohibition (16%) was the second most common reason (excluding other prohibitions).

    I have all of the FBI and DOJ statistics, and the numbers support what I have been stating. You have presented nothing, as you have no data to support your opinions.

    You never answered, how does 16 not equal 16?
