To me the obvious stat despite rising population allowing semi automatic long guns the homicide rate has dropped significantly since 1990 up in 16 but murder rates in demo ctntrolled cities contribute to that a review of that last might be interesing as to its effect on the rate. Gus even sthe so called assault weapons have little significance rate wise it is as with most demo issuse a divisive wedge to drive into the electorate

American citzens own 40% of all the guns in the world. While I am not against owning guns - I am against any tom dick n harry being able to own one without intense background checks in regards to criminal history , social network history , and medical history. IMO guns are to easy to own n there are to many out there
