Compared to the decrease in the past 30 years that increase is insignificant and cannot be proven to be directly caused by gunsAnd crime in the country is at a 30 year lowCrime has gone up every single year since getting concealed carry.
Wisconsin Crime Rates 1960 - 2016
so one state doesn't matter
FBI: Violent crime increases for second straight year
Concealed carry is at its highest and violent crime went up. Clearly it does not decrease crime.
No...left wingers like you attacked the police....and supported racist, anti police groups like Black Lives Matter......creating the Ferguson effect in our major cities...we can track the increase to the attacks on police after Ferguson....
Hard Data, Hollow Protests
The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect.
Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.
Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 AM, many officers are instead just driving by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.
Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.
Ferguson is because our police shoot so many people. Police don't shoot lots of people in countries with strong gun control. The problem is too many guns. Just like our police are shot and killed weekly. Countries with strong gun control have single digit police deaths to guns. Too many guns.
