The Pew Research Center found that since a peak in 1993, the rate of people murdered by a firearm had dropped by nearly half, from 7 deaths per 100,000 people to 3.6 deaths in 2010. The rate at which people were victims of nonfatal gun violence fell 75% from 1993 to 2011."

So after the AWB ended, and during a period of increased firearms sales, deaths and injuries from firearms has fallen. Perhaps someone can explain why this is not being more widely reported? Oh right, it conflicts with the media message about rampant gun violence.




Hamilton, the detailed article is on the FRONT PAGE of the Daily Mail-UK-OnLine........Unfortunately when one wants ACCURATE and up to date headline information on THE U.S.A. with it's retarded opinionated liberal media, it is usually necessary to look at media outlets from other countries........

Here's the link for the complete story with graphs etc.
