Yup. There's a Nova episode called The Violence Paradox that shows a pretty good summary to that effect.
The trouble is seeking the causes of violence, not just recognizing the correlations.
SOUNDS LIKE THE USUAL LIE-beral style number crunching to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meaning - FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many would be DEAD if protestors in Hong Kong...........................
HAD ACCESS TO GUNS???????????????????????????
Or - would Venezuelan Socialist Dictator Maduro still be in power............................
IF HIS PEOPLE had MORE GUNS??????????????????
There is reason to suspect that if Syrians had more guns.......
or bigger guns then asshat Assad might have been dumped!!
LIE-berals LOVE MONKEYING with numbers - after all - figures dont lie - but LIARS FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals have been telling us FOR DECADES that crime rates are DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And WE ALL KNOW that crime rates are NOT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crime rates in Canada ARE BEING FIDDLED - by NEVER FULLY TRUTHFUL LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals LOVE THAT PLEA BARGAINING............................
that turns major crimes into minor crimes....................................
and enables LIE-beral friendly prosecutors to COMPLETELY FORGET minor crimes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at child killer Marcia Dooley who helped hubby Anthony Dooley beat son Randal to death...........................
Marcia was UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR WELFARE FRAUD............................
when she was arrested for murder - and that welfare investigation................................
GOT DROPPED like a hot potato at the first opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah - theft over $5 grand and uttering assorted FORGED documents and living off the avails of crime..........................
oh well.................its only OUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND NONE those Dooley FRAUDS got a conviction so THEY DONT COUNT AS CRIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just one more way of MONKEYING THE NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals do not like being exposed as being CARELESS with our money..............................
and they especially DO NOT want to be seen allowing ILLEGALS..................................
and FAKE REFUGEES like the Dooley`s to CHEAT US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And as i have pointed out before -CRIME IS EVOLVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why bother going to the trouble to get a gun and steal a get away car and rob a liquor store or gas station...................................
when you can buy FAKE CREDIT CARDS from your local Nigerian paper hanger.......................
and go on a CREDIT FUELED SHOPPING SPREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The odds of getting caught for a fake credit card ARE MUCH LOWER than for armed robbery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And BEST OF ALL - LIE-berals DO NOT CONSIDER mere property crimes to be as serious as armed robbery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And best of all - LIE-beral hug a thug judges have decreed that making thugs pay criminal surcharges.......................
as partial compensation for their crimes is UNFAIR TO CRIMINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crime is evolving - for the CONVENIENCE OF LIE-berals....................................
and to the delight of career criminals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
