Figured you guys would like to see these, how ever reliable they are. I am believer in doing your own research and finding Truth on your own. I have a hard time believing the media no matter who is telling me the news. Again I understand these numbers might be biased and what not, but still just something for every one to mill over and maybe help you guys induce thought to those that you know that blindly follow.

Re: FBI murder stats

As a crime analyst, this is interesting and illuminating. Data doesn't lie, and isn't emotional.

The core of the banning argument comes down to public safety outweighing the Constitutionally protected rights of a decreasing proportion of our population.

That argument holds little to no water in the light of evidence like this.

We should share this data with everyone we know, and share it with our Congressmen and Senators. We must demand that logic outweigh emotion.
