Gangs and Gun-Related Homicide

Which is the topic of that section. It is discussing Homicide percentages and not the rate in which guns were used to intimidate a robber victim into submission.
That statistic would be found in the table I posed as:

As a percentage of all violent incidents (i.e., rape, sexual assault, robbery and aggravated assault), between 1993 and 2011, nonfatal gun crime has ranged from a high of 8 percent to a low of 5 percent. In 2011, firearm crimes comprised 8 percent of all violent crimes.[7]

Percentage has remained constant so there is no "increase in ability to get guns" and the rate has dropped significantly.
