Don't listen to the lefties. The only place gun violence is a problem are the places where they've made it illegal to own or carry.
"In 1993 there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 — a total of 11,208 firearm homicides. The number of victims of crimes involving guns that did not result in death (such as robberies) declined even more precipitously, from 725 per 100,000 people in 1993 to 175 in 2013."
The reasons are pretty funny...it's because there are more cops, less booze, and less...lead?
Hmmmm...no mention of the increase of private gun ownership as a potential "cause".
We’ve had a massive decline in gun violence in the United States. Here’s why.
