Im ready to curb gun murders. Lets work together

[Rustic]

Buy more guns and ammo...

I haven't noticed the big crime drop we were supposed to get with concealed carry.

Here you go...4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997......over 15 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2016...

--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.

Voters’ perceptions of crime continue to conflict with reality

Official government crime statistics paint a strikingly different picture. Between 2008 and 2015 (the most recent year for which data are available), U.S. violent crime and property crime rates fell 19% and 23%, respectively, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, which tallies serious crimes reported to police in more than 18,000 jurisdictions around the nation.

Another Justice Department agency, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, produces its own annual crime report, based on a survey of more than 90,000 households that counts crimes that aren’t reported to police in addition to those that are. BJS data show that violent crime and property crime rates fell 26% and 22%, respectively, between 2008 and 2015 (again, the most recent year available).

----

These polling trends stand in sharp contrast to the long-term crime trends reported by the FBI and BJS. Both agencies have documented big decreases in violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s, when U.S. crime rates reached their peak. The BJS data, for instance, show that violent and property crime levels in 2015 were 77% and 69% below their 1993 levels, respectively.

Violent Crime Is 16% Lower Than a Decade Ago, So Why Are Gun Sales So High?

The Bureau of Justice Statistics, which uses a slightly different definition of violent crime (it doesn't collect murder statistics, but does include simple assault), says violent crime has plummeted 77% since 1993 with just 18.6 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older, compared with 79.8 victimizations 23 years ago. It's clear we're living in a much safer world today than just a few years ago, let alone decades before:

Image source: Bureau of Justice Statistics, October 2016.

Yet at the same time, more Americans than ever own a gun.

While the percentage of U.S. households with a gun in them has remained fairly constant since the 1990s at around 45%, the actual number of households has dramatically increased over time.

For example, there were 99 million households in 1995 but over 124 million in 2015, meaning there would have been around 44 million households with guns in them 20 years ago, but 55 million households today.

Yes the bill Clinton crime bill has worked great. Concealed carry has grown a lot in just the last few years. Haven't seen a decline. Milwaukee not doing so well.

More frivolous gun laws have never worked – will never work… Fact

So crime going down in Milwaukee....after Wisconsin passed concealed carry is bad?

“You’re seeing a rebirth:” Crime rates in Milwaukee’s Amani neighborhood down significantly

The data shows crime in 2016 compared with 2015 was down in the Amani neighborhood by 10.42%. For the city as a whole, the decline was 4.66%.

Over the past four years: crime in the Amani neighborhood declined 26.36% -- for the city: 10.86%.

Holmes' children were two of the 145 homicide victims in Milwaukee last year.

It was the highest number of homicides since 1993, when 160 people were killed in the city.

The spike was a nearly 69% increase from 2014 — a year-to-year increase higher than the headline-grabbing changes reported in Baltimore, St. Louis and Washington, D.C.

“You’re seeing a rebirth:” Crime rates in Milwaukee’s Amani neighborhood down significantly

The data shows crime in 2016 compared with 2015 was down in the Amani neighborhood by 10.42%. For the city as a whole, the decline was 4.66%.

---

Over the past four years: crime in the Amani neighborhood declined 26.36% -- for the city: 10.86%.

Holmes' children were two of the 145 homicide victims in Milwaukee last year.

It was the highest number of homicides since 1993, when 160 people were killed in the city.

The spike was a nearly 69% increase from 2014 — a year-to-year increase higher than the headline-grabbing changes reported in Baltimore, St. Louis and Washington, D.C.

Homicides soar in Milwaukee, along with many theories on cause

Yes.....gang members and lack of police......and yet the crime rate dropped 10%......

Even with the Ferguson effect......because of obama and his Justice Department attacking the police......the crime rate is down 10% in Milwaukee...with the police backing down.....the crime rate went down.....while more and more people in Wisconsin started carrying guns for self defense.

You need to control gang members, the ones using illegal gun to shoot people, not law abiding people who use guns to stop violent criminal attack.

I haven't noticed the big crime drop we were supposed to get with concealed carry.

Here you go...4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997......over 15 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2016...

--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.

Voters’ perceptions of crime continue to conflict with reality

Official government crime statistics paint a strikingly different picture. Between 2008 and 2015 (the most recent year for which data are available), U.S. violent crime and property crime rates fell 19% and 23%, respectively, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, which tallies serious crimes reported to police in more than 18,000 jurisdictions around the nation.

Another Justice Department agency, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, produces its own annual crime report, based on a survey of more than 90,000 households that counts crimes that aren’t reported to police in addition to those that are. BJS data show that violent crime and property crime rates fell 26% and 22%, respectively, between 2008 and 2015 (again, the most recent year available).

These polling trends stand in sharp contrast to the long-term crime trends reported by the FBI and BJS. Both agencies have documented big decreases in violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s, when U.S. crime rates reached their peak. The BJS data, for instance, show that violent and property crime levels in 2015 were 77% and 69% below their 1993 levels, respectively.

Violent Crime Is 16% Lower Than a Decade Ago, So Why Are Gun Sales So High?

The Bureau of Justice Statistics, which uses a slightly different definition of violent crime (it doesn't collect murder statistics, but does include simple assault), says violent crime has plummeted 77% since 1993 with just 18.6 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older, compared with 79.8 victimizations 23 years ago. It's clear we're living in a much safer world today than just a few years ago, let alone decades before:

Yet at the same time, more Americans than ever own a gun.

While the percentage of U.S. households with a gun in them has remained fairly constant since the 1990s at around 45%, the actual number of households has dramatically increased over time.

For example, there were 99 million households in 1995 but over 124 million in 2015, meaning there would have been around 44 million households with guns in them 20 years ago, but 55 million households today.

Yes the bill Clinton crime bill has worked great. Concealed carry has grown a lot in just the last few years. Haven't seen a decline. Milwaukee not doing so well.

So crime going down in Milwaukee....after Wisconsin passed concealed carry is bad?

And here we have the cause of the murder rate in Milwaukee.....criminals and their immediate friends and family...people who can't buy, own or carry guns legally...

Homicides soar in Milwaukee, along with many theories on cause

Several trends have remained constant: Some families have multiple victims, some people could be a perpetrator one day and a victim the next, most of the victims are African-American men and most victims die from gunfire. Some of the killings — on average 1 in 3 — go unsolved.

Preliminary numbers show a quarter of homicides in Milwaukee last year stemmed from arguments and fights. A lesser share were the result of domestic violence, drug activity and robbery.

"The difference they've seen post-Ferguson disturbances is an emboldening of the same group of people that already are shooting each other," he said, citing anecdotal information from Milwaukee officers.

In a study of one high-crime Chicago neighborhood, Papachristos and other researchers found that more than 40% of all gun homicides occurred within a network of 3,100 people, about 4% of the community's population. Simply being among the 4% increased a person's odds of being killed by a gun by 900%.

When it comes to gun homicide, Papachristos says, seemingly innocent victims end up in the "wrong place at the wrong time" by indirect exposure, such as getting a ride from a friend's cousin or by going to the party of a friend of a friend's.

In 2002, Laron Ball was fatally shot by a detective in a Milwaukee courtroom after being found guilty of felony murder, stealing a deputy's gun and firing it while trying to escape.

Thirteen years later, his brother, Latrail Ball, was shot and killed, but in very different circumstances.

The aftermath of Ferguson could have added fuel to a sense of "legal cynicism" already present in many communities, according to Thomas Abt, former New York deputy secretary for public safety and a senior research fellow with Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

If people view the criminal justice system as illegitimate or unable to help them, it can lead to more violence, Abt wrote in a recent opinion piece for The Marshall Project, a criminal justice website.

The Milwaukee Police Association, which represents the department's rank-and-file, has long criticized Flynn's leadership. Union president Michael Crivello says the chief's reorganization of the department deserves much of the blame for higher levels of violence and lower clearance rates.

"(An) abandonment of the fundamentals of policing have caused the out-of-control spiral of criminal behavior," Crivello said.

When no one's held accountable for a homicide, the victim's family and friends suffer, said Tory Lowe, a Milwaukee activist and Common Council candidate.
