It's strange how many people can't get it through their thick heads, that the violence has very little to do with guns, guns don't point and fire themselves...………………….bloody imbeciles!

Sigh
Do some research before you post....PLEASE!!! Or was it just convenient you quit in 1994?
The US murder rate in 1994 was 9.0 per 100,000.

Since then, almost every state has introduced right to carry laws, either requiring minimal training or "constitutional carry" requiring no training or license.
Like this illustrates very well:

The "assault weapons ban" was allowed to die in 2004. It had a "sunset clause" of 10 years, studies showed it had no positive effect, and the Congress refused to renew it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban
In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right, and a number of areas subsequently have had too strict gun laws shut down. (Washington DC, Chicago, and San Francisco et al, if memory serves)

So, less guns you think?
In 1994 the USA either manufactured or imported 2.3 million firearms.
In 2018 the USA either manufactured or imported just under 5 million firearms.

The murder rate in 2017, after 20 years plus of easing firearms restrictions?
5.3 per 100,000................a 41% DECREASE, while laws were eased, and gun sales went through the roof.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
And I hear the rate dropped in 2018.........but I haven't seen the data yet.
The facts speak for themselves......less gun laws, more guns, less murder.
Explain please.
Or..........consider yourself owned.

Because the media outlets make money off it. People just gobble up that shit which attracts scads of advertisers.
Gun control really works — here's the science to prove it
https://www.businessinsider.com/science-of-gun-control-what-works-2018-2
There are more than 38,000 gun deaths in the US every year, and approximately 85,000 non-fatal injuries.
Despite some restrictions on gun research, scientists have sought to evaluate how certain policies affect gun deaths.
read em and weep
Policies that seem to reduce rates of gun violence include stricter background checks, limiting access to dangerous weapons, and prohibiting domestic abusers from owning weapons.

Gun control is the reason violence has plummeted across the board?
12 year old girls aren't bitch slapping and hair pulling as much as they used to because of gun control?
Seem to? You call that the "science to prove it"?
That's a guess. Real science never guesses
Maybe you should start listening to Pete. One of these days you are going to wish you listened to somebody!
Yeah, don't address my post,.
Of course, you can't.
EXPLAIN, dumbass, why murder rates DROPPED significantly between 1994 and 2018 in the USA, despite record gun sales, the emergence of the right to carry handguns across the USA, and significant roll backs in gun legislation.
And considering that FACT, cited BTW, I can completely discount the article you quote, which pretends murder rates rose after concealed carry became a thing. Liars. Like all gun grabbers.
You see, I deal in FACTS, not the opinions of lying pricks with an agenda.
A 41% decrease in the US murder rate.
Compare to Canada..........in 1994 the murder rate was 1.98 per 100,000.
We had just passed one ludicrous gun law, and in 1995 passed a law (the Firearms Act) that was so convoluted, restrictive, expensive, unconstitutional, and oppressive that it set a new benchmark for bad law in Canada.
In Canada, in 2017,the murder rate was 1.8 per 100,000. A drop of 10%, compared to the 41% drop the USA experienced at a time of radically loosening laws.
You're owned still.
ANd yet criminals still have guns despite it being against the law. Obviously more gun laws do not work. Whereas lengthy prion sentences have been proven 100% effective at keeping convicted felons off the street.
