Here is the link for the FBI statistics on murder weapons used.

Can anyone find these same figures running back to 1960?

I'm wondering how much infringing on our Rights has reduced gun violence year by year for the last 50+ years.  You know the laws:  Background checks, waiting periods, limits on ammunition, etc.

This was the best I could find on a short search:

Some of the numbers are off from the FBI chart, but they are close.

For statistics going back farther, two charts based on FBI data from 1960 to 2009 are available here. The first chart lists numbers of crimes, while the second gives the rates per 100,000 population. It is possible that some of the FBI statistics provided at all of these links are mistaken. But if anything, we would expect to FBI to inflate the rates in order to justify Congress giving them a bigger budget. It is not likely that they would skew the rates downward.

Here are some others....I can not verify the accuracy but they claim FBI stats are the basis:
