CSM Reports FBI Says Gun Sales Up, Crime Down

The Christian Science Monitor has been a news organization we’ve watched closely this year, as it normally has an anti-firearms bias. But it is still a news organization so we’re pleased to see that it reported that crime is down, even if gun sales are up. Of course CSM couldn’t help but look to see if this was a fluke:

“FBI’s latest crime report, for the first half of 2009, shows America is a less violent place even though ownership of guns has surged. Deterrent effect may have a role, but others see no correlation.”

Now it will be interesting to see if the rest of the mainstream media picks up on this story.
