Yep. Gun Crime and violent crime are in absolute numbers down by 2/3rds.

I wish I could find the old cartoon from the 1800s in which a criminal is handing out single shot boot pistols to kids so they could commit crimes.

I love scouting old cartoon sites for these rare gems, so this one will have to do.>/P?>P?

Judging from the stories posted here daily, the Obama voters who have chosen crime as their career path are taking some serious hits.”Victims” have “evolved” and have started shooting back.

In San Diego County, gun homicides fell about 69 percent in the past 20 years.

Violent crime also dropped substantially in LA and Orange County in the past decade and a half...

I think it's time to downsize some major police departments

More importantly are the real numbers of criminals who are brought down by guns.

Remember that recidivism ends when the life of the criminal ends. Likewise, if the criminal is afraid enough of being shot so that he quits breaking the law, this ends his criminal life as well.

The threat of incarceration did not seem to matter as much, based on the number of repeat offenders. Many saw prison as little more than a break where they don’t have to do anything to get free food and a place to stay.

But longer term accommodations, six feet underground, don’t have the same appeal.
