Since 1991, the number of firearms in the U.S. has risen by more than 75 million (one-third of them semi-automatic, including several million guns defined as “assault weapons” in the now-expired federal ban of 1994), the number of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds has risen by more than 50 million, and the U.S. violent crime and murder rates have decreased 39 percent and 44 percent, respectively.

One would hope that this information would put the "more guns = more crime" fraud to sleep forever. Of course, that requires rational people without an agenda on the other side.

BTW, I can confirm that all of the guns in my gunsafe have been exceptionally well behaved...well, except that there's a bit of unauthorized and unprotected fraternization going on, since they seems to multiply only slightly slower than rabbits. :>)

feel free to send the poor little things my way. I’m sure you’re going to get many magnanimous offers like mine! ;)
