Mortality rate of gunshot wounds vs stab wounds:
Out of a study in Philadelphia, it was found that 33% of patients with gunshot wounds died of their wounds compared to 7.7% of patients with stab wounds. Another study found that with wounds to the heart, the mortality rate for gunshots was over twice as high as the mortality rate for stab wounds (24 vs 11%). Another study looked at wounds to the neck and found gunshot wounds were almost twice as likely to cause "significant cervical injury" (31 to 55%). This pattern is pretty consistent, with individuals dying of gunshot wounds roughly 2-3x more than those with stabbing wounds. It is worth noting that these figures typically look at outcomes after arrival at a hospital. Gunshot victims are also more likely to be pronounced on scene, which would further inflate these numbers meaning that there is a larger disparity in gunshot wounds than the data suggests.

So other than the war stats, the rest are based on specific medical locations over specific periods of time? Are other medical centers better or worse at treating their patients? Do different locations have varying amounts of gun vs knife wounds? Is the time line of the studies long enough? Does it take into account what if there were no guns?
What about mortality rate of gun wounds vs motor vehicle wounds?

I feel like you are just throwing things at the wall and seeing if anything sticks. Half of these questions are either irrelevant or ridiculous. I don't even know what you are going for. You seem to have done absolutely no work in bringing a rebuttal of any substance here. Like, you say "the rest are based on specific medical locations" when the first link I posted refers to all gunshot vs firearm wounds. Is the time line long enough? The first link was over a span of five years. Then you bring up the mortality rate of motor vehicle wounds? First of all, what? That is a hard left turn into "whatabout", but the mortality rate for car crashes is less than 1%.
Like, c'mon. Put a little effort in...
