flaming lib: Violent crime is down! I heard it in the gungeon!

It's true, starting about 1993 violent crime rates & murder rates have declined. But what the gungeonears don't hear is that starting about the same time in the early 90's, the gun ownership rates & household gun ownership rates have fallen steadily in lockstep with the declining violent crime rates (despite rising national gunstock, for most new guns go to existing gun owners, & the increase in total guns does not keep up with population increases, thus the falling gun ownership rates).
So the underlying reason behind falling violent crime rates is the falling gun ownership rates.

I held in a small barf when I heard lapierre on the tape warn about 'lies all around us', or surrounding us, geez, he's not the one to speak about lies.
Hitler said people want to be deceived so let them be deceived - lapierre's no hitler but he sure does talk like a duck on that one.
