The Facts About Assault Weapons and Crime - WSJ.com
After all, very few of us really only know what the agenda driven media DECIDES to tell us...
In the Wall Street Journal, John R. Lott Jr. shares the facts that the state compliant media seems to ignore. Here's one of them:
"Since the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in September 2004, murder and overall violent-crime rates have fallen. In 2003, the last full year before the law expired, the U.S. murder rate was 5.7 per 100,000 people, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report. By 2011, the murder rate fell to 4.7 per 100,000 people. One should also bear in mind that just 2.6% of all murders are committed using any type of rifle. "
