''' Unlicensed guns used in 85% of murders involving firearms '''
+
 
+
Over 85% of all murders committed using firearms have unlicensed guns involved. Not surprisingly, UP and Bihar make up 67% of all murders with unlicensed guns.
+
Crime data for 2014, released by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) shows that 11% of all murders were committed by guns. Of over 33,000 murders committed last year, more than 3,600 murders were committed by using guns. Of these, over 3,100 were committed using unlicensed firearms.
+
 
+
While such figures raise serious law and order con cerns, the data, thankfully , show a declining trend over the past couple of years. In 2012, murders by unlicensed weapons stood at close to 3,500.This reduced to about 3,300 the next year and declined further to just over 3,100 last year.
+
 
+
Murders with unlicensed guns have actually had a fluctuating trend over the past decade and a half.
+
 
+
Between 1999 and 2009, there was a declining trend with close to 8,500 murders by unlicensed firearms in 1999, dropping to just over 2,700 such murders in 2009. It rose consistently since 2009 to 2012, after which it began declining again.
