These weasels are known to outright lie about the numbers they present.
I know for a fact, from years of looking at crime stats, that the murder rates are lowest in States that allow firearms with the least amount of red tape.
States and cities with the strictest gun control laws are the ones that have the highest murder and crime rates.
What these liberals want everyone to believe is that using a gun to defend yourself constitutes violent crime. If a cop shoots a bad guy, that is considered violent crime. If you use a firearm o defend yourself late at night in your home, that is violent crime.
What liberals want is like England what has: If you harm a criminal, like a liberals are, you should go to jail.
The vast majority of criminals are liberals, and liberals hate it when we shoot them.
