Pew is not exactly known as a right-wing group, yet their figures show a ‘startling’ trend: gun homicide rates have been declining for decades:
‘National rates of gun homicide and other violent gun crimes are strikingly lower now than during their peak in the mid-1990s, paralleling a general decline in violent crime, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data.’
Gee, could that have something to do with the increase of ‘conceal-carry’ permits?
