Yep.....this study focused on the increase in gun purchases compared to the decrease in the various categories of crime.....
Gun Prevalence and Crime Rates: Is There a Relationship? by Clayton E. Cramer :: SSRN
Abstract:
Does gun ownership increase crime rates? Analyzing national gun firearm purchase data and crime rates provides strong evidence that the number of guns in America does not increase crime rates; indeed, the evidence suggests the opposite.
Gun Prevalence and Crime Rates: Is There a Relationship? by Clayton E. Cramer :: SSRN
In every category but forcible rape, the direction of gun sales is so strongly opposite the direction of crime rates that it is simply absurd to suggest that adding more than 201 million guns from 1999-2014 to the private stockpile increased rates of murder, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny & theft, or motor vehicle theft. It is actually more plausible that guns caused reductions in crime rates, or that falling crime rates increased gun sales.
