Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle
of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other
crimes, two new studies of government data show.

Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half
believe gun crime has risen, according to a newly released survey by the
Pew Research Center.

In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in
half. Other gun crimes fell even more sharply, paralleling a broader
drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns. Violent crime
dropped steeply during the 1990s and has fallen less dramatically since
the turn of the millennium.

The number of gun killings dropped 39% between 1993 and 2011, the Bureau
of Justice Statistics reported in a separate report released Wednesday.
Gun crimes that weren�t fatal fell by 69%. However, guns still remain
the most common murder weapon in the United States, the report noted.
Between 1993 and 2011, more than two out of three murders in the U.S.
were carried out with guns, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found.

Of course Americans think gun crime is up when it's actually down - they
get a steady diet of gun-grabbing left-wing media reports hyping their
fears.

Well golly gee, the Brady Bill was passed in 1993. Now what do you
think about that? How many times do you people have to get slapped in
the face with the truth before you will understand gun control works.
And for more evidence, look at the list of states by gun deaths and
the ones with all the strictest laws have the lowest rates of gun
deaths. All those red states with lax laws have higher rates of gun
violence, not lower as you want to think.

thanks for proving the Brady Bill worked, though.

The Brady Bill does *not*, of course, explain a sustained year-on-year
reduction in gun violence.

You're evading - very fearfully - the fact that you gun-grabbers and
your loyal ass-lick media stooges are doing everything you can to
persuade people that gun violence is growing, when in fact it is falling
and has been for year. Why are you lying to the public?

It does to everyone but morons like you. It's not my fault you can't
understand even the simplest things.

Cite. Who's saying gun violence is on the rise and what stats are
they using? I'm saying gun violence has been going down ever since
additional gun control laws were legislated.

And I noticed you dodged the point that states with the strictest gun
control laws have the lowest gun violence rates.

Can't deal with the facts, can you?

What the fuck do you mean, "cite"? Have you been blowing gummer?
That's what he always squeals, too.

The public are saying it.

That doesn't prove or even suggest that additional gun control laws
*caused* the reduction in gun crime. You wouldn't have a prayer of
being able to show that.


> And I noticed you dodged the point that states with the strictest gun
> control laws have the lowest gun violence rates.

Nothing in the story said that, you liar.

No, I didn't.

You're committing a classic /post hoc/ fallacy.

Gun violence continued to *rise* for a few years after passage of the
Brady bill. Then it began falling. The Brady bill would *NOT* lead to
a sustained year-on-year decline in gun violence, you stupid fuck.

No, it doesn't. Gun crime *rose* for the first few years after the
Brady bill passed. Then, it kept falling every year. If the Brady bill
had had any effect on reducing gun crime, it would have been a one-time
fall in the rate.

You're the ones who can't come up with any evidence showing the Brady
bill - or any other gun control bill - led to any reduction in gun crime.

Here's something interesting for you to stick up your ass: gun crime
*continued* to fall after the expiration of the "assault weapon" ban.
Prove that the expiration of the ban did *not* cause the continued fall
in gun crime. Go ahead - take all the space you need <chortle>.

You stupid illiterate fuck.

You're the one who needs to "prove" that the Brady bill caused any
reduction in gun crime. It might have done, but it did not lead to a
sustained year-on-year drop. It couldn't have.

I think you are giving it credit the statistics don't actually
support. The murder rate peaked in 1991 and was on it's way down
before the Brady bill was passed. Brady didn't take effect until
1994. Also, the murder rate in 1962 was about half what it was at its
peak in 91. It is just now returning to the 1962 levels. If you look
at other statistics that ought to follow your theory of decrease due
to the Brady law you won't find the evidence you need. The drop in
violent crime also preceded Brady. The drop in rape preceded Brady.
Vehicle theft drop preceded Brady. the robbery peak preceded Brady.
If you look at the data there is something that happened around
1991/92 that appears to have lead to a long term drop in crime rates.

That was when the World Wide web took off so perhaps that's the cause.
Or it was the end of Bush I and the start of Clinton, so perhaps
that's the cause.
Or it was the intro of the Intel Pentium, so perhaps that's the cause.
and on and on.
This was also around the time of the First Trade Center Bombing, so
perhaps that's the cause.

In any event, the Brady bill is not the cause.

You really should read what what the CDC and NAS said about that. They
both issued a statement saying that no study has proven any gun control
laws to be a causative factor on violent crime in either direction.

No, they don't. There is very little correlation between Brady Rankings
and gun homicide rates.

Gun violence has been going down before Brady and it continues down even
while the number of guns increases.

Did you hear that besides Obama's attack on the 2nd amendment, he's also
been attacking people's 1st amendment rights? If you didn't, it because the
left wing media won't report it.

People involved in the Benghazi attack have been trying to speak out but the
Obama administration has been keeping them silent. They are finally getting
to tell their story. Big news for leftwing media? Why not? Maybe because
there is evidence that Hillary Clinton lied, must run in the family. They
ignore big stories until the public finds out and then they cover and
downplay as a good ministry of propaganda should.

The 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee lying? She'd fit right in.
Democrats, politics for morons by morons.

Bzzzzzzz!!!! Wrong. California is the worst violator of 2nd Amendment
rights and is the highest in gun crime.

Chicago, Illinois is a leader in gun deaths and has some of the
strictest anti-2nd Amendment laws in the country.

Gun ownership has kept crime down.

Absolutely correct.

In the article "It’s unclear whether media coverage is driving the
misconception that such violence is up."

That's as close as you can get for the LA Times to admit their
complicity.

False. California is not the highest in gun crime. However, it does
have the strictest gun control laws of *any* state, with a Brady score
of 80, and its gun murder rate per 100,000 population is well above the
national average; California ranks 12th for gun murders per 100,000, and
17th for all murders per 100,000.

It's very interesting to compare California and Texas. Texas has some
of the *least* restrictive gun control laws, getting a Brady score of 6.
It's gun murder rate per 100,000 population is 3.2, below California's
rate of 3.4. Texas's gun murders as a percentage of all murders is
64.6%; California's is 69.4%.

That's false, too. The states with the least restrictive gun laws have
the lowest murder rates. However, gun murders as a percentage of all
murders are higher in those states.

He sure doesn't, because his claim is false. California has by far the
strictest gun control laws among all states, and its gun violence rate
is significantly higher than the national average.

See how many instances from the mainstream media you can find of the phrase
'epidemic of gun violence'. If it's going down it's not an 'epidemic'.

On local television, "if it bleeds, it leads."

Kaiser Foundation found at one point that 51% of the lead stories on
local TV evening news were about crime. Murders lead other crime. This
topic was a favorite of media researchers going back to the '60s, and
hardly anything has changed. You'll see the same patterns over the
last 50 years.

It isn't "liberal" media. FOX locals and everyone else does it, too.
Crime leads; violent crime leads crime; violent crime against kids
leads violent crime against adults; sick, bloody mass killings lead
violent crime of all other kinds. Shootings are good for leads because
they always create a controversy. Controversy, like train wrecks,
makes good news.

That's all there is to it. Assuming some liberal conspiracy is being
too clever by half. People watch the local stations that give them the
most blood and tragedy. A slow night would be a grandma dying in a
house fire with her three cats, and cops arresting a drug dealer with
no shots fired.

So now we have a hat trick of hat tricks: Three mass murders --
Tucson, Aurora, and Newtown; dead kids in each; high-capacity guns in
each. Political buzz all over the place.

It's a field day for news producers.

Are YOU advocating lifting registration laws on motor vehicles? And banning

Because that's pretty much the worst that's being asked for by the so-called

And yes...the crime rate has been declining...steadily...since passage of
the Brady Bill in 1993.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Property_Crime_Rates_in_the_United_States.svg

So did the Brady Bill cause that? Maybe. Maybe not. But that important

California invariably ranks numbver 1 or number 2 in Brady Rankings for

homicide rankings.

It ranks much higher than that for gun murders per 100,000 population.
It's about 17th. It's closer to - but still above - the mean for
firearm robberies per 100,000 and firearm assaults per 100,000.

handguns at 2.56 and 37th best (14th worst) for all guns at 3.37. Do you
wish to look at 2007 - 2009?

Now look at those numbers. 21st, 14th, 15th, 17th. All in the same
ballpart depending on the year picked and who estimated the population.

No, actually it's you who are lying.

Please note there is a difference between gun murders (aka gun homicide) and
Firearm Deaths.

Firearm Deaths also includes *DaDa* suicides, accidents, and even lawful
self defense.

Hence you are lying by attempting to use oranges when he's talking apples.

Further if you follow the links in your own source we find that the firearms
homicide rate is actually stated to be HIGHER than his documents indicate.
3.6 per 100K in 2010 and 2011 instead of the 3.25 per 100K shown. So if
anything California's ranking may well be even higher than indicated.

One thing is for certain: strict guns laws don't lead to more gun
crime. They lead to less gun crime. That clearly means gun control
laws work as intended. Maybe not perfect, as usual. But they clearly
help. More will help more, not less as the gunhuggers want us to

fact that guns can cross state and municipal lines in the trunk of a
car, and second by the political nonsense that leads to such
brain-dead situations as a NICS check for regular commercial sales,
and a free-for-all for private sales and "collector" sales at gun

If someone visited from another planet and saw the legal situation
we've created with NICS, they'd conclude we are all insane. And they'd

As the frustration builds with the inadequacy of gun regulation to

some of which are absurd and most of which are doomed to more

Not necessarily but there is an effect that many people do not look at.
Do places with high crime have lots of laws against guns because of the
crime or the high crime rate due to the laws. I happen to believe the
former. High crime places pass more laws, low crime areas pass less of
them. The high crime rate or low crime rate really has nothing or little
to do with the laws that are passed.

It's not perfect, but it works. The stats prove it. Any failure in
the law is due to the fact that it's not applied universally nation
wide, and all someone has to do is drive to the next state and load up
the trunk and make a ton of cash selling their "private collection".
Even more incredible than the fact this is happening is that you
people think it's ok.

Since gun dealers WERE NEVER a primary source for crimianls and given that
the number of prosecutions for Brady violations over the last 20 years
wouldn't keep a moderate sized county's court and jail busy I'd say Brady
had fuck to do with it.

How that works varies by state. In Virginia, for example, there were
2,999 denials in 2010. They investigated 942 and made 842 arrests. In
the course of those investigations they also apprehended 65 wanted
persons.

The number of federal cases that are dropped for "no prosecutive
merit" is huge. Most never make it to prosecutors' offices. When they
do, they have to fall within limited guidelines or they aren't
prosecuted. Remember, all of those cases would have to go through U.S.
District Courts. There are only 94 of them in the entire United
States. They limit prosecutions to those they feel are really
dangerous.

There are not many states that make an all-out effort, and federal
reseources are very limited.

https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/bjs/grants/239272.pdf

Of course, if you're denied and they don't prosecute or they don't
find you, no problem. You can still buy from a retail store (7.3%), a
pawnshop, flea market, or gun show (4.0%), buy or borrow it from a
friend or family member (36.3%), buy on the street or from a fence
(32.6%), or, if all else fails, steal it (7.5%). Maybe you "other" it.
<g> (22.3%).

Anyway, they all come from dealers to begin with, and then find their
way into the criminal market. In all but a small percentage of those
cases, the first purchaser was legal -- or appeared to be legal. Then
he either turned out to be a straw purchaser or left it in his
nightstand for easy pickings in a burglary.

See? It's not so hard. Not in the US of A, it's not. Hell, in some
states, you don't even have tell anyone what state you're from or
whether you're a criminal in order to make a private purchase. Guns
for all!

statistics collectors like RD. <g>)

No, they enforce the background checks. They deny gun purchases by
tens of thousands of criminals, nutcases, and abusive spouses with
restraining orders against them.

They just don't have the resources to prosecute them for Brady Bill
violations. But stopping the purchases is the primary objective, and
that, they do -- when the states fulfill their end and keep the NICS
database up to date.

Goat, what do you think the objective is here? To stop criminals from
buying guns? Or to fill up our prisons?

With 3,000 denials and 842 arrests, Virginia is doing a good job of
it, IMO -- at least, that side of it. And picking up 65 wanted persons
along the way ain't bad.

Well, 'tell you what, Scout. You go tell your congressman that you
want the federal prosecutors' offices and the federal courts better
funded, so they can take on all those cases. The NICS system is doing
its part- tens of thousands of criminals, nutcases, etc. are being
stupped at the retail level.

Now we'll see if Congress is really serious about wanting to stop gun
crime...oh, right. We just did, a month or so ago...

The objective is to stop criminals from buying guns, not to fill up
prisons. If the states followed up, with their extensive systems of
courts and local prosecutors, the way Virginia has, for example, the
prosecution problem would be solved, anyway.

YOu want to argue that, then go argue with the CDC and NAS, asshole. It

Small typo, Ed. The number os arrests in Virginia were 846, not 842. I
have the version of those reports from Frandsen that were submitted to
the DOJ.

Hmmmm, you haven't answered this last question yet and you have asked it
several times. Seems that whining about the laws and doing nothing about
a "known" violator makes you a bit of a hypocrite.

Well over 90% of the people in America know you're full of shit and
want more gun control laws. Too bad you can't actually read any of
those statistics you collect.

They may want more gun control laws, asshole, but *not* because they've
been shown to reduce gun crime - they haven't been shown to do that.

===============================================

Isn't odd that people will accept so many infringements on their rights in
the name of homeland security...yet we can't even get sufficient
restrictions on the sale of firearms?

Do we want terrorists to have easier access to actual weapons? So moronic.

What makes you think people "accept" those so-called security
restrictions? In fact, ardent second amendment advocates seem to be the
only ones who seriously oppose all the other intrusions.

That's your job. I'm just stating that it makes no sense to have these laws,
much less expand them massively, if you're not going to enforce them.

Particularly it makes no sense to do so when you seem happy with the lack of
enforcement.
