As this article points out...violent crime is down 3.3%.....as more Americans now own and actually carry guns...
Where is the problem?
Well...if democrats didn't keep letting repeat gun offenders out of prison with short sentences, it would be even lower...which is likely why they keep releasing these guys....if you don't have criminals shooting each other, it is hard to demand gun confiscation...
CCRKBA: What 'Gun Violence' Epidemic are Democrats and Anti-Gun Orgs Talking About? - The Truth About Guns
According to the new FBI data, last year there were an estimated 14,123 murders in the United States, which is down from the 15,129 reported in 2017. In 2018, an estimated 10,256 slayings involved firearms, down slightly from the 10,982 posted by the FBI during the previous year.
“So, the number of murders has gone down,” CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb observed. “Yet, in order to create the impression that this country is awash in violent crime, gun grabbers routinely combine the number of homicides and suicides, plus accidental deaths and call them all acts of so-called ‘gun violence.’ It is deliberately misleading and downright dishonest. Why are Democrats and the gun prohibition lobby lying about this?
