Interestingly, the rates rise after gun control laws get passed (Sullivan Laws, NFA34, GCA68, etc). The rates also rise whenever a prohibition is attempted. The confluence of gun control laws being passed beginning in the early sixties, and the War on Some Drugs beginning in the late sixties, has produced a spike that is only now beginning to normalize-and only after relaxing many of those same gun control laws.
And this is the TOTAL number of Homicides per 100,000. So this HAS to take into account Poison, Bricks, Knives, etc. So the number of Firearm Murders is actually LESS, in spite of more Guns being sold.
Bradys would gladly trade 3 throat cuttings for every firearm murder or suicide they think they'd achieve by banning guns. At least that what it seems when you analyze their public face and position.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."

Clearly the vast number of guns sold in the last 3 years are causing mass mayhem and destruction.
Maybe the guns are now so powerful that they kill people without leaving any traces.

Good one, and let's see Brady Bunch spin THIS!
And this is the TOTAL number of Homicides per 100,000. So this HAS to take into account Poison, Bricks, Knives, etc. So the number of Firearm Murders is actually LESS, in spite of more Guns being sold.
But the Brady Bunch "Can't handle the Truth!"
