Congressional Study: Gun Ownership Drastically Up Since ’94, Murder Rate Cut In Half

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


According to a new study, commissioned by Congress, the murder rate in the US has fallen from 9.5 per 100,000 in 1993 to 4.7 per 100,000 in 2011. Homicides involving firearms dropped from 6.6 per 100,000 to 3.2 per 100,000. It should also be noted that following the expiration of the federal “assault weapons” ban in 2004, the homicide rate continued to decline, on average. 

During this same time period, the number of guns owned by US citizens soared from 192 million to 310 million (and that’s not taking into account the massive sales years the firearms industry had in 2012 and 2013).

Darn those truthful stats!!  Contrary to all kinds of propaganda, Guns save lives.  That’s fact as stated here and numerous other studies.  I would deduce the reason for our high crime rates is not guns but something far more sinister..   Greed.  Money.  Wealth and the pursuit of it.  At least that’s my guess.  -Mort

      numbers cant lie. 2+2 =4.

      people can. people do. 2+2 =5 for some people when their existence and threshold of pain cant take any more on top.

      lecture us all you want BO ~ Tell us you are dissapointed – that’s fair.

      But the numbers show you are wrong. and you dont have the backbone to say we’re doing it anyway ~ your red lines mean nothing.
