According to official US sources the number of people murdered by gun in the US has fallen from 10,158 in 2005, to 8,775 in 2010.

That doesn't seem to be much of an improvement, after all, we're not talking about pizzas or car production. THIS IS ABOUT FATHERS, MOTHERS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS.......PEOPLE!

In 2010, out of a total of 12,996 murdered people, 8,775 were shot to death. That is 67.5% of the total murders.

Yes, guns are indeed a good thing, if you're into compulsory population control.
