Look at countries with strong gun control. They have much lower homicide rates. Their mums are much safer.Yes right after we got background checks gun crime dropped drastically. Thank you for pointing that out.Trump is claiming to want to protect us with this wall. Well nothing would protect us more than some strong gun control. Our homicide rate is 4-5X higher than countries with strong gun control. Trade the wall for strong gun control!
Moron, we already have 20,000 gun control laws at all levels of government...what we need is criminal control..but unfortunately, the democrat party keeps letting known, violent, repeat gun offenders out of jail.....stop them from doing this and we reduce our crime rate over night.....
And on the plus side....as more law abiding citizens over the last 26 years have gone out and bought guns...and now actually carry them...our gun murder rate has gone down 49%, our gun crime rate has gone down 75%, and our violent crime rate has gone down 72%.....
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.
The point is that the fact we have millions of armed law abiders out there, our violent crime rate is going down.
A lot of older people like myself would face certain death on the streets if the criminal element didn't think we were packing heat. My mum, example given, is 88 years old. Some young thug comes up to her what chance would she have if she wasn't armed?
They always had lower murder rates...they don't murder each other as part of their values and culture....until now, when they have imported violent 3rd world males into their countries who don't share their values and culture...now the crime rates in all of those countries are skyrocketing.....including gun crime.
