Please provide the source of your statistics.
(It would be unacceptable to include those shot lawfully by police officers or by private citizens stopping the commission of a crime.)
Thank you.

Before I provide the statistic I have a bet:
If less than 365 people were murdered (in the U.S) from legal guns last year I will pay YOU XXXX. If more than 365 people were murdered from legal guns last year you will pay ME XXXX.
What shall we make the XXXX?
I know you won't take that bet at any price.
PS: and yes we will not count those stopping a crime (police or otherwise). I'm talking about the number of people arrested and charged with murder whose gun was legally registered to them.
For the last year I could find stats (2011), there were almost 9000 murders from guns. You really think less than 365 (4%) were legally purchased?
