So...how is this possible...the anti gun extremists have made their claims years that more guns would lead to more crime...specifically gun murder...and in each case where they complained about concealed carry or other self defense gun measures...they were wrong....
13 million Americans now carry guns for self defense...and the gun murder rate has gone down, not up.......
The anti gun extremists were wrong.......
Pew: Firearm-Related Homicides Down Nearly 50% from 20 Years Ago
On October 21, Pew Research Center released findings that show the annual rate of firearm-related homicides in America declined by nearly 50 percent between 1993 and 2013.
That’s the same time period in which The Washington Post (WaPo) reported that firearm ownership doubled in the United States.
The WaPo did not put a figure on the number of privately owned guns in America. Rather, they estimated that that average gun owner went from owning 4.1 guns in 1994 to owning 8.1 in 2013. Breitbart News used Congressional Research Numbers to show that this means the 192 million guns owned privately in 1994 grew to 310 million or more in 2009 and to an estimated 350 million in 2013.
And PEW Research shows that this surge in privately owned guns did not correlate with an increase in firearm-related homicides but with a plunge in the annual firearm-related homicide rate, which fell from 7 per 1oo,ooo Americans in 1993 to 3.6 per 100,000 in 2013.
Now..this might be the reason that the democrats have started to attack the police so viciously lately....they need the crime rates to go back up to try to restart their gun control agenda....we already saw this when obama and eric holder started the Fast ans Furious program to increase gun crime in Mexico by allowing American guns to be sold to Mexican drug cartels...sadly for them word got out and that stopped that approach...now they are using black lives matter to undermine the police.....
