Would you believe the number of firearm murders per 100,000 people in the U.S. has declined steadily since 1993? No way, you say? Au contraire, definitely "way."
A nonpartisan Congressional Research Service study shows over the period 1993-2011 the gun murder rate dropped from 9.5 to 4.7 per 100,000 population, you'll find the table on pp. 9-10. This decline happened while the rate of gun ownership went up from roughly 1 for every two people to 1 for each person.
And a Breitbart article reports the rate in 2017, the most recent year for which FBI data is available, showed a continued decline. It was only 3.38 per 100,000.
The continuing decline in firearm murders certainly doesn't fit the PC narrative, does it? Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
