Fact: Gun violence down not up

Sorry gun grabbers, gun violence is falling, not rising.

DOJ: Gun violence down, semi-automatics a minor issue

The report, by the department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, painted an encouraging picture of long-term trends at a time of divisive political debate over guns and legislation to regulate them. Firearms-related homicides declined 39 percent between 1993 and 2011, the report said, while nonfatal firearms crimes fell 69 percent during that period. . . . Less than 1 percent of state prison inmates who possessed a gun when they committed their offense obtained the firearm at a gun show, the report said.

Despite national attention to the issue of firearm violence, most Americans are unaware that gun crime is lower today than it was two decades ago. According to a new Pew Research Center survey, today 56% of Americans believe gun crime is higher than 20 years ago and only 12% think it is lower.

Authoritarian gun grabbers want to take your guns because:

Gun Ownership at an at All-Time High and the Nation’s Murder Rate at Nearly All-Time Low.

Authoritarians don't like that. They need you to be Afraid. FEAR is a tool.

It's common sense in this case. Almost no one needs a gun, at least not the kinds causing the most carnage.
