Interesting... http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-7 Violent crimes are going down each year and have been since the early 90's according to FBI stats. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-1 Nothing is specific about the types of weapons used in these reports but lets assume it's an absurdly high number like 100 people every year are killed by "assault weapons". Given last years rates, 14,612, "assault weapons" accounted for what.... 0.68436901177115% of murdered people. Why again are the gun grabbers, congress, the left, etc. so bent over my AR again?
