What caused the increase in violent crime?
Blm and the democrat party attacking the police......democrat party judges and prosecutors releasing violent criminals back into their communities over and over again on bail and short prison sentences which decreases the likelihood that anyone in those communities will help the police...
That increased violent crime starting in 2015 when the democrat party declared it's war on the police...
Wrong again... Crime is at all time lows up until 2019.

Now, we don't have good numbers for 2020 yet, but probably a lot of factors involved there, including the worst recession in 80 years, the worst plauge in 100 years and the worst race riots in 50 years, because "MAGA", I guess.
It's not going to be anwhere near what it was in the Aughts or the nineties, though.
One could equally argue that legal abortion caused a dip in crime. The crime rate started going down 1991, when it peaked... This would be 18 years the first wave of unwanted kids ended up in the bottom of medical waste containers after Roe v. Wade.
Abortion brought down the Crime rate... Hurray for Abortion!!!!
Makes about as much sense as your gun theories.
Conversely, the number really starts declining after 1993, which is when Clinton got the Brady Bill passed.
