And to prove me wrong you post a bunch of random stories? How about we look at the crime rates for the state?You mean it went down right when we got background checks. WI got concealed carry and crime has increased every year since...Our homicide rate is 4-5x higher than countries with strong gun control. Lots of lives to be saved.If any of thes epeople could magically stop mass shootings there would be no effect on the national murder rate whatsoever
Wrong, that's like saying everyone who eats carrots dies........
We have higher murder rates of all types because our welfare system destroyed our inner city families in the 70s and 80s...Europe fell behind because of the war...
How do I know....? Because in the 1990s, more Americans began to buy and own guns...and our gun murder rate went down 49%, the exact opposite of what you anti-gun extremists said would happen.
And you lied...you didn't even put any effort into that lie...you just pulled it out of your ass......

For violent crime robbery was down nearly 10 percent, rape nearly four and as for homicides, we'll there weren't any.

5 years of concealed carry: Law obscures impact
Wisconsin Crime Rates 1960 - 2016
Concealed carry in 2011
Violent crime rates:
2011: 249.9
2016: 305.9
Murder:
2011: 2.4
2016: 4.0
What a success.
Your violent crime numbers are insufficient
How many of those were actually committed with a gun?
You see I was actually the victim of a violent crime and there was no gun used but I still ended up with cracked ribs, a fractured eye orbital, a serious concussion and a lacerated spleen. I still have the scar under my left eye as a reminder that there are violent people in this world.
So it rings hollow when you say people shouldn't have the right to carry in order to protect themselves.
I've had a CCW permit since i was 21 and in all that time the fact that I own guns and carry i have never committed any crime.
