****and in the meantime, firearms ownership has increased tremendously****

And yet, guns were more available in the 1950s than now. Every gas station, hardware store, clothing store, book store, and hundreds of other stores sold guns with no paperwork needed.

New guns
old guns
army surplus guns
Saturday night specials,
army rifles from around the world for $5.00 each..

Cash and carry.

Oh for the good old days!

Like many other trends, this is linked the demographics of the country. As a nation we’re getting older, and violent crime is a young man’s game.

Gee... Firearms ownership starts to climb closer to 1950's level and an equivalent drop in violent crime ensues... Whooda thunk it?
