Contrary to what the liberal MSM and the COWH want you to believe about gun homicides.

From the article:

That’s the same time period in which The Washington Post (WaPo) reported that firearm ownership doubled in the United States.

The WaPo did not put a figure on the number of privately owned guns in America. Rather, they estimated that that average gun owner went from owning 4.1 guns in 1994 to owning 8.1 in 2013. Breitbart News used Congressional Research Numbers to show that this means the 192 million guns owned privately in 1994 grew to 310 million or more in 2009 and to an estimated 350 million in 2013.

And PEW Research shows that this surge in privately owned guns did not correlate with an increase in firearm-related homicides but with a plunge in the annual firearm-related homicide rate, which fell from 7 per 1oo,ooo Americans in 1993 to 3.6 per 100,000 in 2013.

Complimenting this 20-year doubling of the number of guns owned by Americans is the fact that concealed carry permit holders nearly tripled between 2007 and now. According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, the “4.6 million” concealed permit holders of 2007 grew to over “12.8 million” permit holders in 2015. That means the last five years of the surge in gun ownership also coincided with a surge in carrying guns in public for self-defense.

Sorry pace, but you need to take a stats course in Grad school. The selective use of stats for the slow moes of this world, are the essence of propaganda. You post thread after thread about the gun violence in Chicago, but ignore that in 2014 that crime was the lowest per capita since the 1960s in Chicago. You attempt to connect crime in Chicago to stringent gun control laws and post thread after thread, yet Chicago does NOT have the nations most stringent gun control laws and ample guns have always been available ten minutes from some of the most violent gang ridden neighborhoods on Chicago's South side. You cannot have it both ways and you post absurdities.

The truth:

Crime is predominately committed by younger people below the age of forty. Where a population bubble ages, the crime rate drops. The crime rate increased as the babyboomers came of age in the late sixties and seventies and began to decline as they aged in the early 2000s as the per capita bubble does not have 65 year olds committing second story burglary or assaulting folks on the street. It has NOTHING to do with gun ownership. Again take a stat course, or maybe a undergraduate sociology course where you can learn the relevance of stats.

That's funny seagoat... you didn't tell us who commits the majority of gun murders or where they live.

It might also be nice to know the background of that demographic... parentage, education, mental and criminal history.

Are you really interested in solving the problem... or do you just want to exploit the problem for a political agenda?

Seabass and his minions are what is wrong with
This country. I guess he knows more than professional pollers and will always disagree with what he thinks is right or wrong.

Professional pollers..........WTF.....yes, I do know more on this subject than any fool who thinks gun ownership increases are the cause of crime reduction, when poverty and youth are the correlation of relevance. The crime reduction bubble of the aging baby boomers as a percentage of the American population is the primary reason for historic drops in crime from their peak in the sixties, seventies, and eighties when babyboomers were committing the most crimes. The ignorance of fools manipulated by clever propagandist who use this same aging population bubble to ignore the reality of the labor participation stats, and now gun ownership stats as the cause of the crime rate dropping is laughable.

Poverty is the driving force behind crime, and young people are the vast majority of those committing crime. If the largest percentage of the population is aging and no longer actively committing crimes of youth, then your crime rate drops. To take the purchase of Sony TVs during this same period and declare that Sony TVs have caused the crime rate to be reduced because Sony tv sales doubled is more logical than saying more weapons which contribute to crime are in fact in Orwellian splendor of doublethink the reason that crime is reduced. Brilliant and consistent.

Again I cannot give out extra strokes as a handicap for stupidity. I cannot give two strokes for believing in the IRS alleged scandal, I cannot give five strokes for believing in the Benghazi lie, and I cannot give eight strokes for believing that more guns in America reduce crime.......again there is no handicap system for stupidity.

Blah blah blah
