Personal Liberty Digest Offers Some Interesting Gun Facts

More guns should equal more crime and more murders, at least that’s what the anti-gun zealots are trying to suggest, and far too often the mainstream media is quick to pick up on it – and run with it. But this week Personal Liberty Digest offered another take, looking at a variety of statistics, which actually suggest the opposite. There are more guns, but crime is down.

“Preliminary data from the Uniform Crime Report shows that the violent crime rate went down 5.5 percent nationwide in 2009. This covers all four categories of violent crime: murder, robbery, aggravated assault and forcible rape. Violent crime went down 4 percent in metropolitan counties and 3 percent elsewhere, according to the FBI.”

Let’s see how the anti-gun groups, such as the Brady Bunch try to spin this one.
