So... You Think Things Are Going To Hell In A Handbasket, eh?

[The data says the opposite !]
"From
1993 to 2015, the rate of violent crime declined from 79.8 to 18.6
victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older," says the Bureau of
Justice Statistics in its most recent comprehensive report (published
last October, using data through 2015). Over the same period, rates for
crimes using guns dropped from 7.3 per 1,000 people to 1.1 per 1,000
people. The homicide rate is down from 7.4 to 4.9. These are not simply
good things, they are great things. They are the essential backdrop of
all discussions about gun crime and mass shootings, even as we grieve
the people killed nonsensically in Vegas." [This Is the Time To Defend the Second Amendment and Less-Strict Gun Control, Reason.com]
"In any event, lack of guns in a Europe, where gun control measures are substantial, has not stopped mass murder
by those intent on committing it: Last year alone using trucks, vans,
and cars terrorists murdered 86 people in Nice, 12 in Berlin, 12 in
London, 3 in Stockholm, at least 14 in Barcelona. And these figures
don’t include bombing attacks on civilians, the most recent of which include 22 in London, 22 in Manchester, more than a dozen in St. Petersburg, and 32 in Brussels," [Take Back Your Brains, American Thinker]
