Your answers are so poor and lame, you can only be considered a RW wack job.. From you.....thanks for the compliment. It doesn't change the facts: The Obama administration knew what was going on in Benghazi The Obama administration could have stopped the attack The Obama administration didn't stop the attack The Obama administration lied about the motive behind the attack The Obama administration covered up the truth The Obama administration lied And four Americans died

In spite of public perception gun violence is way down in America over the past couple of decades. "Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades." Context The number of firearms available for sale to or possessed by U.S. civilians (about 310 million in 2009, according to the Congressional Research Service) has grown in recent years, and the 2009 per capita rate of one person per gun had roughly doubled since 1968. It is not clear, though, how many U.S. households own guns or whether that share has changed over time. Crime stories accounted for 17% of the total time devoted to news on local television broadcasts in 2012, compared with 29% in 2005, according to Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. Crime trails only traffic and weather as the most common type of story on these newscasts. pewsocialtrends.org
