Oops… Reality sucks…

I don’t think this one is going to get much play in the MSM…

Between the years of 1993 and 2011, as the assault weapons ban expired, more Americans purchased guns, the Supreme Court overturned outright gun bans, and individual states not only loosed gun control restrictions but also issued concealed carry permits to private citizens, incidents of gun violence in America collapsed.

Between 1993 and 2011, nonfatal gun crimes plummeted 69%; from 1.5 million to 467,300. Gun-related murders dropped 40%; from 18,253 to 11,101. Gun-related murders for black Americans plummeted by 51%.

The report also shows that the media-created hysteria over school shootings is wildly misleading. Between ’93 and ’11, the murder rate in schools dropped by almost a third; from 29 to 20.

And one more thing, while I’m thinking about it…

Three pictures from the NRA convention, taken at the RIA booth.

For those who are searching for those old sniper rifles, take a look at the prices here, remembering these are ALL documented weapons…

And buyer beware at those gun shows where ‘supposedly’ real ones show up!  If there ARE documents, then they are worth that $10,000 price tag, otherwise not so much…

I’ve seen supposedly ‘real’ 03A3s for $7-10,000, and ‘real’ M-1Ds for $15,000 but with NO PAPERWORK!

  1. OK, those are seriously pretty. So much so that I’ll forgive you for the lack of a booth babe in the pictures.

  2. The firearms stats constitute an “inconvenient truth” that the progressives will never reconcile with their collectivist ideals.

    But onto the weapons, yes, I will take the Z prefix 1903A4 Remington. Ah, yes…sweet as a prom queen.

  3. I agree we’ll never read of this report on MSM…and, I too covet those beautiful old babes. Great post.

  4. Rev- You’re welcome!

    Murph- The ‘booth babe’ was a 60ish year old fat guy… 🙂

    WSF- Yep, I need a bib everytime I go through their display…

    LL- That it was!!!

    Stephen- Agreed!
