Not exactly. The number of homicides using handguns is AT LEAST 6368. Could be as high as 9331, but probably somewhat less than the higher figure.
I'm a left pondian, thought it sounded low. Oh, and, you're welcome.
Handguns are by far the most common murder weapon used in the United States, accounting for 6,368 homicides in 2019. This is followed by firearms of an unstated type, with 2,963 cases in that year. When combined, murders with guns comprised around 73.6 percent of the 13,927 total homicide victims recorded by the FBI in 2019.
