Since I graduated college 25 years ago, gun ownership is up 100 percent. Gun homicide is down 50%. Give or take a point or two. (Well, maybe it's going the other direction now, but that's because of those super violent Democrat criminals and foreign terror squads we see on the news, not legitimate gun owners. We'll see as the FBI data emerges)
We, you, me, and the other reader that reads my blog knew that. But it's good to remind others of same, now and then.
I think, for what it's worth, that the drop in crime is a result of harsher sentences for violent offenders (being undone at the Federal level as we speak) and the dramatic rise in the number of states with Shall Issue or Constitutional Carry laws.
