sol740 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 No no no, we live in a world where you are constantly in danger because of crazy firearms enthusiasts that attend gun shows to sell illegal cop-killer assault weapons back and forth to each other, chock to the brim with high capacity magazines and Teflon coated bullets.

87GT Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 That article links to http://bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdf which is full of good data. People keep complaining about sources when I say gun violence has dropped. This will work. Thanks for the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuffPo. Reuters. AP. LA Times. Washington Post. Wall Street Journal (paywall). I'm sick of shitty websites pretending like they're the only ones covering anything. You should stop reading them. eta: I was going to make a snarky comment about people who say you can't trust the government and then... trust the government, but the Pew folks reviewed the same data so there's multiple analysts on the case.

macpyro2 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 The only real source I use is the FBI's UCR. Uniform crime report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
