Looks like more guns leads to more shootings.
Except..no.
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
Thanks to the Bill Clinton crime bill. But what is happening now?
Violent crime rates up for 2nd consecutive year
All crime rates were going down until 2015 when the left wing, led by obama made a direct attack on the police.......the increase follows from the Ferguson effect, up until that point...when the police were doing their jobs in Chicago, D.C., Baltimore...the cities leading the increase....

When police shootings finally had a backlash. Our police shoot lots of people. Our police are shot and killed often. Too many guns.
No...when the left lied about police shootings in order to increase violent crime, and take control through the Justice Department........you asshats are vile....you lie and let people die to get political power.....
They are upset because too many people get shot by police. The police shoot too many people because they are often shot. Too many guns.
