I Hate Doing This The Hard Way
I was hoping to write a SQL query to produce a table showing mass murders and dead by decade: 1790-1799, 1800-1809, subtotals and then totals, ideally with counts for each weapon category, but I cannot get the GROUP BY clause to work, so I am doing this as a series of separate queries.
