FBI's 'Uniform Crime Report' reports the # of annual murders at each
state. Statistics can be found here:
http://www.disastercenter.com/crime

However, I need specifically the murders which involve firearms.

This URL leads to a .pdf file, which shows exactly what I need on the Page 3:
http://www.claytoncramer.com/DroppingCrime.PDF

However, I need the same information for each of the 50 states.

Shortly put, I need the number of people murdered by firearms in each
state. Data needs to be annually. From 1960 to 2000 is preferred, but
1980 to 2000 will also do.

This guy write the .pdf file says he got the numbers from the FBI,
however, I was not able to locate the information there. If you can, I
will be grateful.
