Yes, the FBI crime report for 2013 just hit....and it shows a decline in all the right categories....a while the rate of gun buying went up in 2013...once again destroying the anti gunner meme that more guns mean more crime....

In a year when the FBI conducted 21,093,273 “Instant Background Checks,” representing more than 19 million new and used gun sales, crime was down dramatically. The key numbers are…

Violent Crime rate DOWN 5.1%, from 2012’s 387.38 to 2013’s 367.9.

Homicide rate DOWN 5.1%, from 2012’s 4.7 to 4.5 per 100,000 population.

Rape rates DOWN 6.3 percent, from 2012’s 27.1 to 25.2 per 100,000.

Turning to hard numbers…

[QUOTE]MURDER, down from 2012’s 12,888 to 2013’s 12,253.[/QUOTE]

GUN MURDER, DOWN from 2012’s 8,897 to 2013’s 8,454 gun related murders.

And all this despite the radicals who claim “easy access Personal Weapons is the cause of crime.”

I will update the graphics to reflect 2013 data over the next few days. Gun ownership is up and crime is down. And there is still no challenge to the theory that more crimes equal less crime.

So....all of our crime stats are going down...while more and more people are buying....and carrying guns for personal protection...

Again, for the anti gunners out there....all of our crime stats are going down, while more and more people are buying and carrying guns for protection....

So at a minimum...the anti gunner meme....more guns = more crime, more murder...is just all shot to hell....of course this has been true for years now....

THis is good news...especially for all the people not beaten, stabbed, raped, robbed or murdered....and all without turning in our guns....
