Anonymous Coward User ID: 42719781 United States 06/12/2014 01:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you take out Detroit and Shitcago, it gets even better. The libtard stongholds account for a big chunk of the gun violence in America. Quoting: Epic Beard Guy According to the DOJ, less than 8% of firearm related homicides occur in rural areas, and as we know, geographically, the US is overwhelmingly rural with one of the lowest population densities of any country. The simple fact is, the vast majority of this country does not have a 'gun violence' problem and doesn't need another one-size-fits-no-one 'solution' from the federal government. If they want to address the problem that does exist, they can start by going after the thugs and gangbangers in the inner cities. Of course, that'll never happen, because a certain political party has too much invested in cultivating the victim status of those areas for votes. |

So much so that everyone is shooting each other more empty threats on social media, then engaging in actual face to face confrontations. Thus resulting in this gradual decline of killings. |

The recent mass shooting in Isla Vista, California, a movie theater riddled with bullets in Colorado, children and teachers gunned down at school in Connecticut, and the list goes on. While you may be seeing more and more shooting, the fact is, overall gun homicide rates have dropped dramatically over the past two decades, according to a recent study. More than half of Americans believe gun violence has increased over the past two decades, but what you’re watching on the news, may be skewing your view. That recent study said compared to 1993, the peak of US gun homicide, the rate was 49 percent lower in 2010, even though the population had grown. In other words, fewer people are dying by guns. Assaults, robberies, and sex crimes also went down by 75 percent in 2011. Perhaps images from shooting crime scenes seem all too familiar, but perhaps the attention to gun violence in recent months has caused more Americans to be unaware that gun crimes are actually markedly lower than they were two decades ago." [link to www.kltv.com] The fact is Sandy Hook, Isla Vista and Las Vegas are all hoaxes. It amazes me more people haven't opened their eyes to the Sandy Hook thing. What's even more amazing is how anybody could actually believe Isla Vista fucking happened. :smokin1: |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57285856 What a moron you are. The less restrictive the gun laws, the LESS crime. The fact that there are MORE gun owners than ever before, is the reason that gun-related crime is lower. An unarmed idiot is an easy mark for a criminal. People like you want everybody to be unarmed idiots. |

We have superior trauma treatment vs 20, 30+ years ago; oeople would died back then often live today. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7997773 Starting in the 1960s, America saw a huge increase in levels of violent crime that peaked in the early 1990s, then steadily declined, and continues to decline today. All kinds of theories have been promulgated to explain this peak and decline in crime, and plenty of politicians in the 1990s took credit for it. But in what I personally consider to be a tour de force of journalism, Kevin Drum of Mother Jones has summarized all of the available research. All of it points to one simple idea: violent crime rose as a result of lead poisoning because of leaded gasoline. It declined because of lead abatement policies. "" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; width: 300px; max-width: 100%; margin: 0px auto !important; vertical-align: bottom;"> There are three basic reasons why this theory should be believed. First, as Drum points out, the numbers correlate almost perfectly. “If you add a lag time of 23 years,” he writes. “Lead emissions from automobiles explain 90 percent of the variation in violent crime in America. Toddlers who ingested high levels of lead in the ’40s and ’50s really were more likely to become violent criminals in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.” Second, this correlation holds true with no exceptions. Every country studied has shown this same strong correlation between leaded gasoline and violent crime rates. Within the United States, you can see the data at the state level. Where lead concentrations declined quickly, crime declined quickly. Where it declined slowly, crime declined slowly. The data even holds true at the neighborhood level – high lead concentrations correlate so well that you can overlay maps of crime rates over maps of lead concentrations and get an almost perfect fit.

[link to www.forbes.com] I've heard that theory regarding leaded gasoline before and I think its an interesting one worthy of more study. The basic premise of a strong correlation between leaded fuel use and emissions versus high crime rates is certainly true. I'm not quite sold on it yet, but its intriguing. |
