Yes...as more Americans bought guns a funny thing happened...the crime rate and the gun murder rate.......dropped. by a lot. And each time a state tried to pass concealed carry, the anti gun extremists cried out....blood will run in the streets...every traffic accident will turn into a gun murder....and blah blah blah....and after each state passed concealed carry laws.......the crime rate went down, and blood did not run in the streets.......state after state the same thing happened.......
SHOCK: As Americans Bought 170 Million Guns, Violent Crime Fell 51% - Breitbart
This information squares with the findings of a Congressional Research Service (CRS) study covering the slightly shorter period of time from 1994 to 2009. For those years, CRS found that Americans purchased approximately 118 million firearms, and the 1993 “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate of 6.6 per 100,000 fell to 3.6 per 100,000 by the year 2000. It eventually fell all the way to 3.2 per 100,000 in 2011.
That is more than a 50 percent reduction in “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide.”
Then, in 2009—the year the CRS study ended—Obama took office and gun sales began their climb to record levels, which made covering the gap between the 118 million guns that had been purchased by 2009 and the “170 million new guns” that Americans would own by 2015 an easy gap to bridge.
Breitbart News previously reported that there were 21,093,273 background checks for firearms in 2013 alone. And each of those checks were on buyers who could have legally purchased multiple firearms.
