Just got my email notification from the FBI that the Uniform Crime Report for January through June 2019 was released. It's at
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/20 ... eport/home. For Bloomberg and the other anti-gun screamers in this general election year, here were the highlights from the email:
According to the report, all categories of violent crime offenses decreased between the first half of 2018 and the first half of 2019, including:
- Robbery (down 7.4 percent)
- Rape (down 7.3 percent)
- Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter (down 3.9 percent)
- Aggravated assault (down 0.3 percent)
Property crime also declined during the same period, specifically:
- Burglary (down 11.1 percent)
- Motor vehicle theft (down 6.7 percent)
- Larceny-theft (down 4.2 percent)
With more guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans than ever before, and more law-abiding Americans carrying than ever before, those FBI statistics <sarcasm>clearly</sarcasm> show that legally-owned firearms are a problem.
