The FBI has released figures demonstrating that over the course of 15 years, NICS background checks for gun ownership have increased 82 per cent, while violent crime has dropped by 18 per cent.
In the 2014 version of Crime in the United States, the estimated number of reported violent crimes dropped 0.2 per cent and the estimated number of property crimes decreased 4.3 per cent compared with 2013 statistics. Homicides committed with firearms in 2014 are down 3.9 per cent on a year-to-year basis, contesting the view that gun ownership creates, rather than eliminates, violent crime. While handguns were consistently the weapon of choice, rifles accounted for a mere 3 per cent of murders in 2014, lower than murders committed with knives, blunt objects, and brute human force.

And if you took out the crimes committed by those supporting the democrats, it would be a whole lot less.
If democrats don’t like gun ownership, they don’t have to own them. In fact, we would be better off without them owning guns. We might even be able to go into our cities again.
Imagine there’s no criminals. It isn’t hard to do,
No one to kill , rape or steal from
Cause they’re “carrying too”
Imagine all the Gun Clubs
Teaching how to safely shoot. Ahhhh!
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us,
Where a civil world can shoot as One.
As long as we feed the animals they will keep wanting stuff for free.
Yes, Obama - more guns make us safer, and we CAN drill our way to lower fuel prices.
I hope that surprises no one - at least on FR...
“AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY”
Yes, but I've also heard that crime is dropping as the prisons are getting filled up. I'm sure there's no correlation. /s
More statistical facts that can be ignored by the left...
Bravo!
Sing it again!
It’s the dirty little secret Liberals will never admit: there are bad people out there and no amount of being nice or government handout will change that. Sometimes the only way to stop the bad guys is by killing them.
Nice picture. I likes.
And “Gun Free Zones” = “Fish in a Barrel”
Now THAT statistic makes sense....
