And I'm still looking for a RELIABLE stat on the percentage of murders committed with knives, or baseball bats for that matter, here in the United States.
Provided by snopes, this is link to the tabulated FBI data:
http://ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/ezashr/asp/off_selection.aspIn either of those crosstabs (victim or offender) choose the year of incident, then choose the weapon used and press the "show table" button. It gives you numbers relating to each deaths in that year.
