Violent crimes surge in America.... thoughts?

Aquarians said:
US data points to about 3.5% / 100,000 of gun owners using them to commit homicide. No other developed world comes even close to that number. Romania's number is close but looking at similar countries, the numbers vary wildly and the quant in me says it's a just statistical noise due to division by zero. You need gun ownership in the reasonable high double digit so that homicide rate / guns owned becomes relevant.

Nevertheless, US - Romania - Japan, gun ownership drops by a factor of 10 and so does violent homicide by firearms. The data points to correlation if not causation.

Right, but there's so many guns in criminal hands in the USA, comparing vs other countries doesn't deliver a solution. Agree it would be safer if there were fewer guns here.

Point being, when you live in a highly violent place like ours, with armed criminals, it makes sense to also be trained and armed to protect yourself and family. And to keep firearms safe.

Makes sense. I'm not a supporter of gun ownership in general but I'm 100% convinced that if Russia had a similar second amendment and gun ownership with US at the time, the horrors of the Gulag and communism would have never happened.
 
Blame Soros and his D.A.'s and the DOJ looking the other way. This gov't is dividing the people while centralizing itself. How would you stop tyranny?

Poverty is the # 1 cause of crime.Police is just a treatment for crime,mostly after crimes have already been committed,not the cure.

Violent crime was down 15% under Obama

But now we have a reasonably complete statistical picture of the Obama years, which began in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, and ended with the highest level of household income ever recorded.



Despite nonstop coverage of several mass shootings, for example, the murder rate was going down for most of the Obama years, hitting the lowest ever recorded in 2014.
