....and a Whole lot of bad guys are in jail.
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Anti-gunner won’t let petty things such as facts discourage them. Their argument will not be that since crime is down, you don’t need a gun!
A: They don't do that; they pass laws against burned-out bulbs, and then they wonder why it's still so dark. Meanwhile, a lot of people get hurt because they can't see.
Go Gunners!
Facts always are.

They use this anti-gun bit to raise a lot of $$ and live a good life style.
I note that that the NRA did not include a link to the FBI stats. Perhaps that’s because the stats are not as “red” as the NRA would like us to think. Here is the link: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2007/offenses/index.html
According to Table “4” the gun-grabbing, gun-hating Northeast has by far the lowest violent crime rate of any other region in the country, including the reddest of red, gun-loving South. (372.4 violent crimes oer 100,000 people in the Northeast compared to 549.2 in the South, 411.2 in the mid-west, and 463.7 in the West.)
Take a look at Table “6” which groups metropolian areas. The rate of violent crime in the NYC metropolitian area, with a population of 17,000,000 and some of the strictist gun laws in the country, is substantially less than just about every metropolitian area in gun-loving Florida and Texas and other red state areas.
My point is that the FBI crime statistics offer something for everyone and can be read to prove whatever anyone wants them to prove.
A shocking concept for grabbers. Violent felons thrive where the easiest prey is
