We keep telling anti-gun extremists that gun ownership does not create gun crime. Criminals, who get arrested over and over again, then released, over and over again by democrat party prosecutors, and judges creates violent gun crime and murder....
======
The United States is currently experiencing what is likely to be a record-low in homicide, which has occurred at the same time as a massive expansion in firearm carry rights across the country. I have previously written about how those with carry permits almost never commit crime. State-level data proves it, and even gun-skeptical research organizations have recognized that “evidence generally shows that, as a group, [carry permit] license holders are particularly law abiding and rarely are convicted for violent crimes.”
------
Not only has homicide not risen, it has fallen to record lows. 2025 may have been our best year for intentional homicide ever.
As the Council on Criminal Justice explained:
When nationwide data for jurisdictions of all sizes is reported by the FBI later this year, there is a strong possibility that homicides in 2025 will drop to about 4.0 per 100,000 residents. That would be the lowest rate ever recorded in law enforcement or public health data going back to 1900, and would mark the largest single-year percentage drop in the homicide rate on record.
The antigun predictions weren’t just wrong, they were hilariously wrong. They said America would turn into the “Wild West” and the streets would be awash in blood from the regular gunfighting we’d all be engaged in.
--------
According to the Council on Criminal Justice, aggravated assaults with a firearm across the 11 cities they measured — Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Little Rock, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Nashville, Philadelphia, San Francisco, St. Paul, and Washington DC — were also down from their 2021 peak, and are now lower than they were pre-pandemic:
------
Several of the sharpest declines in homicide have come in cities which have been forced to issue carry permits on a shall-issue basis for the first time in their modern history, thanks to Bruen. I have highlighted some of those cities in the chart here:
-----
Overall, the nation as a whole also saw a roughly 24% drop in firearm-related homicide, identical to the reduction in the rights-expanding states. Thus, the rights-expanding states matched the decline of the country as a whole, and several of them actually comfortably beat the national decline in firearm-related homicide.

We’ve Been Running a Huge, Real-World Experiment in the Expansion of Carrying Guns in America…Here Are the Results
We all make incorrect predictions from time to time, but the degree to which opponents of the Second Amendment were wrong is simply astounding.
