The Facts About Murder And Gun Ownership

America Is Number 1 In Gun Ownership, But Not In Top 100 Of Murder Rate

The man in the video below is Bill Whittle. He is a man that breaks down the exact placement of America in comparison to other countries in regards to firearms. He also points out how socialism and gun grabbers in America love to demonize our guns.

This video does a really good job of presenting the facts and putting things in to context when looking at pure facts. The per capita numbers that he talks about are very important to look at. American is pale in comparison when you look at the real numbers like Plano, TX. These numbers are reflective of what Real America is like and the only reason we end up at 111th place on the list rather than at the very bottom is due to the fact that we have heavily gun-controlled zones like Chicago and New York where criminals have yet to follow the rules and turn in their guns and people do not have the reasonable means to protect themselves. And looking at the following list those are not even our ‘bad cities’:

  • New Orleans – 53.2 per 100,000
  • St. Louis – 35.5 per 100,000
  • Baltimore – 34.9 per 100,000
  • Newark – 34.4 per 100,000
  • Oakland – 31,8 per 100,000
  • Stockton – 23.7 per 100,000
  • Kansas City – 22.6 per 100,000
  • Philadelphia – 21.5 per 100,000
  • Cleveland – 21.3 per 100,000
  • Memphis – 20.2 per 100,000
  • Atlanta – 19.0 per 100,000
  • Chicago – 18.5 per 100,000

Truth, we are all about truth, and when we factor out these liberal killing fields America becomes not only a very safe place to be but rather one of the safest places on the planet. Let’s talk for a minute about ‘legal’ gun owners, New York has made the attempt to implement the SAFE Act which among other things requires people to register their newly defined ‘assault style’ weapons which officials estimate to be in excess of 1 million weapons. This program has been an utter failure with only 23,847 registrations since its inception. Local law enforcement will not get behind the program because these departments know that not only is this type of legislation purely politically motivated but worse yet will do nothing to protect the people of New York.
