Violent crime is down globally and it`s not because the nuts in this country that owned a dozen guns bought a dozen more.As more Americans owned and carried guns over the last 26 years our gun murder rate went down 49%, fact. Our gun crime rate went down 75%, fact. Our violent crime rate went down 72%, fact.
Horseshit.
Guns in the United States — Firearms, gun law and gun control
Gun homicides went from 9800 in 9257 in 1998 to 14,542 in 2017. That's a 50% INCREASE.
Moron....you have seen the PEW research.....from the 1990s to today, 26 years, as more americans own and carry guns, our gun murder rate went down 49%......our gun crime rate went down 75% and our violent crime rate went down 72%.
You don't know what you are talking about.....
Over the last 26 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
-- 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.
Why violent crime is plummeting in the rich world
