¿MÁS ARMAS, MÁS DELITOS?

As reported in American Rifleman, recently released FBI data demonstrate that in 2005, “the nation’s total violent crime rate was 38 percent lower than in 1991, when violent crime hit an all time high.”



AR, a publication of the National Rifle Association, also notes the rather interesting anomaly, of the crime rate in relation to the availability of firearms. They note: “Defying the anti-gunners’ claim that more guns means more crime, from 1991 to 2005 the number of privately owned guns increased by more than 70 million. The FBI’s report showed that only one in four violent crimes were robberies and aggravated assaults, and most were committed with knives and bare hands.”
