OOC: And in case the gun nuts are wondering about other weapons,
Knife homicides are about 5,000 per year--but we are an Empire of 33 Billion people across 11 planets so...people here also never hesitate to turn in family members and friends they think committed a crime. They're also just so damned innocent and reserved. Violence as a means never really crosses their mind unless they have a mental disorder like sociopathy or psychopathy. Acts of violence are covered up immediately from public view and never covered in the media, so apart from a family or two around the victim, people have never really heard of individual acts of violence. The flip side is that they're all too familiar with acts of violence from the government. Guns are tightly controlled to keep the peace, and those who break those rules will quickly find that peace is just a privilege.
