And because sometimes the truth hurts, we don't care if they choke on it.
#3 - More guns = more crime. Simple math.
Totally 100% wrong. Even though we have 310 million guns for 310 million people, violent crime involving a gun is incredibly low. How low? Like really low. Like mind blowing low. Like when I tell you how often a gun is involved in a violent crime, you are not going to believe me and demand proof. So guess what, I am going to give it to you. I am going to give it to you real good.
Ripped right from the pages of the Bureau of Justice Statistics - a US Government entity that gathers crime data - I present to you the truth about guns and violent crime.
ONLY 8 PERCENT OF ALL VIOLENT CRIME INVOLVE A GUN!
Get the freak out of here! You mean 80% right? Nope. A single digit number. 8. 8 freaking percent. Not exactly what you have been lead to believe, is it?
That means 92 percent of all violent crime involve anything else other than a gun. In fact 78% of the time, a violent crime is committed with body parts. Meaning a fist, or foot.
I got it! Maybe we should take away everybody's feet. That will surely change the crime rate.
But wait, that's not all! - What does the government show historically about guns and violent crime? Surely this is just a weird fluke, right? Wrong! Really wrong. This report show that in 1992 when they started tracking this data, only 13% of all violent crime involved a firearm. Since 1992 it has gone down. And it has gone down every year to the current level of 8%.
WAIT! Are you telling me that as more and more people buy guns, violent crime involving a gun is moving in the opposite direction?!?!?
Yep. The truth is far less scary than what you were led to believe, wasn't it? Can't figure out why. Politicians and the news media never blow anything out of proportion to further an agenda. Never...
