It was increasing from a really small number, didn't gain much steam till recently, and violent crime is up. Now after we got background checks crime decreased.hWith more concealed carry than every before, violent crime is up....I wouldn't go that far. The NRA was a sensible organization up until the 1970's... when it supported common sense gun laws.
Then the nuts like LaPeirre took over.
This was also about the time that hunting started falling out of fashion as a sport, so the gun industry realized that the home protection market was the way to go.
And, now we have common sense gun laws. How many more common sense gun laws do we need before they go beyond common sense and accomplish nothing?
Perhaps hunting has fallen out of favor where you live, but it certainly has not where I live, the panhandle of Florida.
As you know, personal protection has worked and worked well. More guns have equaled fewer murders and violent crimes. Why is that a problem for you? Why do you demand more murders and violent crimes?
FBI: Violent crime increases for second straight year
Which has nothing to do with CCW's and everything to do with the Ferguson Effect. CCW's have been increasing the last couple of decades with violent and gun crime on the decrease.
