Well I guess it depends on how you “count” crime. I think you’d agree gun laws (or any laws for that matter) are only followed by law abiding people. If you are defining crime as assaults, robbery, theft, etc. yes crime is down overall. I don’t think Chicago “crime” rates are going down relating to guns though (ie murder). They should be the safest f*cking place in the universe but criminals still use guns there. The District of Columbia is still dangerous as hell and murders are down but compared to what?…last year? They have had essentially a gun ban in place to 25+ years. You name me a place that is anti-gun and statistically speaking “crime” will be lower but not due to gun bans. Now if you want to believe otherwise I think you are choosing to believe something without benefit of research. I can name multiple major cities that ban guns almost completely that are not “safe” in my book (Chicago, DC, NY, etc.) Crime is dropping nationally as a whole (statistically) but also consider concealed carry & open carry laws in most states have also become more relaxed and allowed starting around 1994. Perhaps that places more of a part . Try not to hate guns just because some idiot watches CNN and sees how it’s glorified on the news when someone kills people. People have always killed – this is not new. What is new is the constant media obsession with it – they have an agenda just like everyone. Mine is factual.
