Deaths from gunfire USofA

[GuySmiley]

In the 23 years from 1990 to 2013, the absolute number of homicides in the United States fell by 60% despite an increase in population of more than 26% (from 249 million to 315 million) and a more than doubling in the number of guns owned by US residents from 130 million to more than 300 million. If guns are the problem, shouldn't homicide rates have more than doubled over this period of time instead of significantly declining? Mike Rosen 850 KOA radio on Facebook

How could this be true? Guns are for killing right? That's a lot of defective guns.

well, there was purex's "simple reasoning for simpletons"

Simple reasoning will dictate that fewer guns will result in fewer gun deaths

I don't recall any post like that. But my post was about homicide, and it appears the raw number of guns isn't even A factor. :shocked:

"Man with a gun". So what.

Turns out the man with the gun at Texas was really a man with a tri-pod and his video camera.

But it was a black tripod and the camera had an assault pistol grip.
