Move to Florida. Murder rates are lower now that they allow citizens to carry weapons concealed. Ask your buddy John. Hey, I am all for you bubbas carrying guns. Go for it! Now that more people in FLA have guns, less of them are killed. Really? Are you sure? The reason I ask is because most states so a decline in violent crime during the 1990s and they weren't encouraging the owning of guns like FLA. Some people think the declining crime rate is due to the aging of the baby boomers. No one is suggesting with the notable exception of FLA that increasing the numbers of guns is doing the trick. That's really an NRA talking point that has little credibility outside of the NRA and its members. Unfortunately starting in 2004, the crime rate began to creep back up. California's Crime Rate Is at a 35-Year Low "The crime rate reached its peak in 1980, declined for several years, increased slightly in the late 1980s, and has declined significantly each year since 1991. The 1999 California Crime Index (CCI) is now roughly equivalent to the rate in 1964. No one knows for sure why crime has declined so dramatically in recent years. Most researchers believe that there are many reasons, including the aging of the population (particularly the aging of "baby-boomers"), the decline in the use of certain drugs (particularly "crack" cocaine), incapacitation and deterrent effects of recently enacted criminal penalties, improved economy (and thus, more jobs), better policing techniques (such as "community-oriented" policing), and relatively peaceful gang situations in some urban areas. EDIT.Please note that no one is suggesting more guns is the reason. lao.ca.gov peaceful gang situations in some urban areas.
