Not an easy question to answer. Especially to a mental midget like you. The number of people that own guns has NOT gone up since 1991 yet the amount of guns sold has gone up exponentially. So those two are not connected in any way. it's still the same percentage. But the crime rate has gone down. What has changed? People have changed, communities have changed, it's a social issue not a gun issue and always was. Even the CCW card holders only carry their guns about a fourth of the time for various reasons so the increase in CCW numbers aren't as high as you believe that are carrying on the street at any given time. You really believe I go outside to the local quick stop and want to take my sidearm? It's right down the friggin street. Or do I really want to go to the supermarket packing all the time? Do I want to work on my car in the driveway with that gun on my hip snagging on just about everything? Jogging, the gun chafes me. Now, if I am carrying a large amount of money, arm up, of course. Or if I am forced to go into a rough section of town, break out the iron. But most of the time, carrying that weapon is not only uncomfortable but just plain silly. My dick is already the right size.
You are an idiot........ There are over 17.25 million Americans who have concealed carry permits in 2018....over that because many states are Constitutional Carry states which means you can carry your legal gun without needing a permit.... so more Americans than ever before have permits to carry guns wether they carry every day or not.....and as this number has increased.....you mental midget........ the gun murder rate went down 49%, the gun crime rate went down 75%, the violent crime rate went down 72%....
This shows you don't know what you are talking about.....
And yet only about 25% of the concealed weapons carry people are carrying at any one time. And there has been not one single credible report that shows that this has anything to do with the reduction in crime. But the return of jobs to the inner cities certainly has been a huge factor as well as the better law enforcement and community support. Those are the reasons. Not the fact that there were more guns sold to the same people over and over again. Only 40% of the population owns guns and that hasn't changed since 1991. Yet the percentage of crime has gone down. There is absolutely no correlation between gun ownership and reduction of crime or the increase of crime. And since there has been absolutely no credible study proving this done you can't prove otherwise.
Stop making shit up.
Why don't you post something to support your claims?
Where does that 25% number come from..... your ass or your adult diapers?
Sure, potty mouth. Easy answer. Simple google search and all kinds of supporting data comes up. Out of 17 million concealed carry holders, there are only 3 million carrying at any given time. Do the math on that one.

I also did a search of the right wing pro gun sites and they only mention the increase in CCW licenses. They make no mention of the restrictions where you are barred by law to have even a CCW. They make no mention of the percentage of those that actually carry at any given time. You need to expand your education. The Ultra Right Wing Gun Primer must be all of about a half page and done in crayon.
Ok, why in the **** do you care if people conceal carry or open carry or not? why in the **** is it any of your business? why in the **** do you want to be a control freak? why the **** do you always side with the progressive anti-gun nutters?
most likely there are 400,000,000+ firearms in the United States owned by law-abiding citizens… How many of them are used percentage wise in violent crime every year?
There is almost 175,000 deaths so far this year in this country by medical errors, obviously Thats murder.
We have much bigger fish to fry, take your pick... firearm violence is not a major concern in this country
