Violent crime is down nation wide
Even in states with strict gun control
NYC Murder Rate Drops To New Historic Low In 2014 Gothamist
Thing is, murder rates were consistently lower back when more people openly carried and there were fewer gun laws. But you flat-earth hoplophobes never want to hear that.
We have 300 million fucking guns
What more do you want?
How is your hoplophobic reply even relevant to my comment? Do you want to try to deny that during the period 1789 through 1968 we had more people openly carrying firearms and less overall crime than we do today?
So, what has changed since 1968? The number of guns per capita hasn't changed much and guns are still just inanimate objects with no sentience.
