ized users to continue to lawfully own and use their 
handguns more safely. 
(4) In 2011, according to the Centers for Dis-
ease Control, there were 851 accidental firearm 
deaths. 
(5) In 2010, according to the Centers for Dis-
ease Control, 62 people under the age of 15 were 
killed accidentally with firearms. 
(6) According to the National Crime Victimiza-
tion Survey, almost 350,000 incidents of firearm 
theft from private citizens occur each year. 
(7) According to the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation, 45 law enforcement officers were killed with 
their own firearm between 2002 and 2011. 
(8) According to the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation, almost half of all murders in the United 
States in 2011 were committed with handguns.
