4) Are there stats that show law abiding citizens (not mentally unstable) and their weapons contribute significantly to gun deaths? As examples - are their weapons stolen and used to commit a lot of gun deaths? are law abiding citizens shown to have committed a lot of gun deaths (e.g. no prior criminal record until the point where they commit the gun death/homicide)

Flere provide source but had to read more. On initial review, it does not seem to delineate between law abiding, non-law abiding and mental health ... but will do more due diligence later (responded)
