AN ESTIMATED 84,563 AMERICANS HAVE BEEN MURDERED SINCE 9-11...

I have been searching to find definative statistics on what percentage of these crimes are committed by repeat offenders.

It is my guess, that the expansion of liberal crime policies is to blaim for this circumstance, and not anything to do with a lack of gun control.

They claim the number of rapes is down, but still 95,000 is an extraordinary figure. Are all the 95,000+ rapists using a gun?

Raw numbers like this don't really mean anything by themselves. They need to be adjusted for population. If a city experienced a 30% increase in population and a 20% increase in violent crime, the adjusted crime rate is actually declining when stated in terms of population.

The article on Drudge about the statistics used Detroit as an example of a city whose crime rate dropped, but Detroit is loosing population. The same report also blames the NRA for increased violent crime.

Who criminal and would be criminal should fear the American justice system? If someone murders, get convicted, sentenced to death, it takes over a decade before their death penalty is executed. In some countries like Saudi Arabia you kill and they found you guilty you'll die in a month by decapitation. You rape, you die, too. In America if you are famous and wealthy like O.J. Simpson or Robert Blake, you can get away with murder.

Hint: avoid big cities. They carry many dangers. Stay in quiet places for safety's sake.
