This source shows the lowest number of gun deaths a year from 1996 as 130. Actual murders will be lower than this figure, but do you have a source? http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/compareyears/192/total_num...

It's a remark by the author and is simply an opinion - I wouldn't say this book has been 'discredited'.
