The term "gun violence" does not make sense in English.

"Gun violence" = "violence committed with guns." I don't see what's so nonsensical about it. Krimpet 14:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Homicide stats involving firearms include lawful gun-related self-defense deaths, at least in the US. Homicide only means the deaths are due to firearms in these stats, not that the total numbers of deaths are due to gun violence. To claim otherwise is misleading. Yaf 13:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
