What Gun Problem?

Looks like more guns does equal less crime, at least according to Sparklefart's own Justice Department::

• A Justice Department report slated for official release in July shows that firearm-related homicides have declined 39 percent since 1993, while nonfatal gun crimes dropped an even more impressive 69 percent. This unmistakably positive news could take some of the impetus out of a Democratic push for tougher federal gun restrictions.
  
  The report, entitled “Firearm Violence, 1993-2011,” and dated July 5, 2013, was made available online by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, an arm of the Justice Department. A BJS spokeswoman confirmed the report’s authenticity and said she could not explain why it was assigned a July 5 release date.
  
  The report does not address any implications it might have for the gun control debate. The findings are consistent with those of other recent studies. Surfacing less than a month after the Senate failed to pass President Obama’s modest gun control initiative, however, the data could dilute the sense of urgency surrounding Democratic attempts to revive the curbs.

So much for Dart's contention of a "Wild West" coming to America.

So much for liberals insistence that school shootings are driving the highest murder rate in the civilized world (it isn't - the US doesn't even break the top ten in homicide rate).

So much for Obama's claim that the United States "gun culture" is driving the narco-wars in Mexico while glossing over the fact that his Justice Department shipped 3,000 guns over the border without any means of tracking or busting anyone involved in the operation.

Of course, Chicago 2012 seemed to buck all of these trends. And Chicago had exactly how many plain old legal concealed-carry citizens then? Zero.
