Ms. Nason,
I have included the specific page from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office 2015 Annual Uniform Crime Report and the 2016 Semi-Annual UCR that has the data/statistics for firearm related homicides and firearm related assaults. (The 2016 Annual UCR has not been verified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at this time). If you need years prior to 2015, they are easily attainable from the following FDLE web link:
http://www.fdle.state.fl.us/cms/FSAC/Data-Statistics/UCR-Offense-Data.aspx
Policies, procedures, directives, etc. pertaining to firearm acquisition, licensure, use and transfer is regulated by Florida Statute, Chapter 790 – Weapons and Firearms.
Statistics, reports, etc. that pertain to the issuance, revocation, sale, purchase and transfer of firearms is available through the Florida Department of Agriculture, Division of Licensing Statistical Reports link:

Should you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
