Joe Biden?
More armed citizens?!?!?
Check cities where crime has not fallen!!
A greater number of citizens are packing heat is why!
I’m sure it’s something simple like they quit counting certain types of crimes.
Falling crime rate?
Due in part to:
Rising gun ownership rate.
Rising ammo sales rate.
Rising numbers of citizens practicing at the range rate.
Rising CCW rate and rising number of states which authorize CCW.
Rising number of states with Castle Doctrine law.
Just to name a few.
What have gun ownership rates done during the same period?
The main reason is the change in demographics. Older people don’t commit crimes. The boomers who were criminals back in the 60s and 70s are now too old and decrepit to break and enter anymore. They’re dealing with breaking their hips and entering the first stage of dementia. :)
secretly putting valium in the water supply.
....what’s behind it?...false numbers given out by idiots that need Odumbo reelected so they can rob the American citizen for another 4 yrs...
Sign I have in the garden in back coming up the walk to the back door says simply: “WARNING! There is nothing in this house worth dying for.” There is a picture of a Glock on the bottom corner of the sign. Outfront along walk the sign simply says: “Warning - Homeowner armed and not afraid to use deadly force.”
His worshipfullness in chief bringing the country together. /MS
R. Dwayne Betts may be one of those not-so-bad guys, sentenced to nine years in an adult prison on a first offense at age 16. It's hard to know if a less severe punishment would have worked. Betts hijacked a stranger's car at gunpoint, which is a dangerous and depraved thing to do. But he also showed signs of promise, having earned his high school diploma a year ahead of schedule. Betts gradually learned to navigate the violence and boredom of prison and emerged in 2006 ready to launch a respectable life, enrolling in college, getting married and writing a book called A Question of Freedom. He looks on those prison years as a costly void, "a waste of society's time and money in the sense that I didn't get any rehabilitation or any educational opportunities." Most inmates, Betts continues, can't do what he has done; they don't have the tools. "I was fortunate in that I knew how to read, I liked books, was pretty intelligent, and I knew I had no intention of being locked up for the rest of my life."
In other words, the punishment did what it was supposed to do... but... somehow this is a bad thing?
When a report sounds unbelievable it is most likely skewed reporting. Propaganda aimed at the gullible and/or useful idiots.
Increased gun ownership, more concealed carry laws and more castle doctrine laws. Bang!
I don’t have enough money right now to pay for the gas to get to the next house I was going to burglarize. A bad economy hurts everyone!
“Last year’s murder rate may be the lowest since the mid-1960s, according to preliminary statistics released by the Department of Justice. The human dimension of this turnaround is extraordinary: had the rate remained unchanged, an additional 170,000 Americans would have been murdered in the years since 1992.”
This is excellent news. This is one reason that police have time to solve cold cases, which wasn’t the case in the early 1990’s. Given the bad state of the economy and the occasional riots, it’s even more amazing.
Roe vs Wade.
Eric Holder’s recruitment drive. They are all working for the Gubmint!
More thugs in prison, a renewed attention to the right to bear arms.
Expect a rise in crime as states look for ways to save money.
