in Washington, murder and gun crime rates didn't rise after the bans were eliminated -- they plummeted

Obama and the Obamots must surely be devastated by this revelation! How can this possibly be?

There is a reason for this apparent media silence because fox is at it again with their distortion and right wing propaganda. Murders and violent crime has been going down steadily for the past 15 years in Chicago. Fox is trying to distort an ongoing trend that the sole reason was because of the handgun law

Crime plummeting on obamas watch actually reflects positively on him. Pretty much all crime is down, not just violent crime. There has been a lot of relaxing of gun laws during his term, many times fully supported by him like the right to carry in national parks

There is no media reporting it, I am glad you realize that.

Well, I imagine the media thinks if they ignore and suppress the "news", they can continue with their LIES and gun control agenda.

Of course crime will go down. Criminals think twice when their potential victims might be armed.
That's a no brainer to anyone with a decent IQ. I guess the government doesn't count though..they think..no guns, no crime.

The criminals don't care about gun laws; they'll get their weapons regardless.

As other posters have noted, crime rates have been plummeting for decades now. Why? Many think it's abortion. Why do you never see that reported on the news?

I think you lefties have completely missed the point of this thread....

Did you read the first few sentences...."going back to the old west style"

"More hand guns, more violence"

NYT's "unwise to let people have guns in their homes"

It's amazing that "the more people who are able to have guns, the violence goes down." Interesting thoughts....

Then why are they not praising obama for such a great job.....I mean really...if it looks good for him, that should be the head lines on every news channel.
