After several years of crime rates holding relatively steady, the FBI
is reporting that violent crimes � including gun crimes � dropped
dramatically in the first six months of 2009, with murder down 10
percent across the US as a whole.

Concurrently, the FBI reports that gun sales � especially of
assault-style rifles and handguns, two main targets of gun-control
groups � are up at least 12 percent nationally since the election of
President Obama, a dramatic run on guns prompted in part by
so-far-unwarranted fears that Democrats in Congress and the White
House will curtail gun rights and carve apart the Second Amendment.

Maybe what counts most is JAIL - as in jailing enough felons reduces
felony crime. That's sure proof that it's not typical Americans who
just commit crimes if they have guns!
