A majority of Americans say they think gun crime has increased over the past 20 years, even though it has actually fallen dramatically, a recent Pew Research Center survey shows. The infographic below provides a closer look at some recent numbers.
Amazingly, we're we're finding that gun controls also work here in Chicago ... we impose record controls and we get record crime!
The thought of The Ballerina sweating bullets, no pun intended, about folks like me carrying in has crap hole city makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
A testimony to the mind control power of our media both news and entertainment.
“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interface. They deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.” -—— George Washington -—
Areas with highest gun ownership have lowest crime rates. Fact.
As far as future legislation goes, now that gun liberty has increased, people should encourage their legislatures to go “the whole Arizona”. No licensing at all unless you want to travel out of state.
The gun controllers point out that AZ is 11th among states for “gun homicides”. But this number includes suicides, which are 71% of gun homicides. Remove them and AZ’s violent gun crime rate has plummeted 38%, almost twice that of the rest of the nation.
From going “the whole Arizona”, states should also try to set up micro-manufacturing of guns and ammo, “solely for use within the state”, as more states are no arguing that without interstate commerce in guns and ammo, the BATF&E has no business horning in to state business.
Next might be to encourage states to encourage in-city gun ranges, underground, in industrial parks, where zoning is easier. This would hugely benefit urban gun owners who otherwise have to travel long distances to practice with their guns.
It would also be a lot cheaper for police department and armed security gun qualifications, as a place for high school rifle teams to practice. Being underground also helps to offset the high prices of warehousing, building the ranges underneath warehouses.
More data that Dr John Lott was correct with his ground breaking book, “More Guns, Less Crime”!!
As good citizens bought more guns, and the Three Strike laws went into effect the past two decades, crimes with guns have dropped with the possible exception of left wing progressive cities and states with basically gun banning for good citizens.
The nightly TV news in N California all ways has one or two killings by guns.
Most of the killings with guns are in left wing hell holes like Oakland, Richmond, Vallejo and hell holes in San Jose and San Franisco.
Most of the killings are drive by shootings, and most drive by shootings are drug gangs killing each other. Black drug gang members kill other blacks and a few Hispanics, and Hispanic drug gang members kill Hispanics and a few Blacks.
Innocents sometimes, get killed by the roving feral drug members.
Who knows how low the kill rate would be if good citizens could carry a weapon to protect themselves against the human ferals?
Those numbers look even better if you look at per capita rates instead of raw numbers.

Recall a petulant Zero issuing that laundry list of XOs, following his gun registration beat-down. One study in particular reached the opposite results his advisor Lysenkos sought.
3 1/2 more years until we’re free of this ****head. Stay strong.
