But the crime rate was dropping before buying guns became a craze. True - but the claim is more guns make us unsafe - yet the numbers did not reverse or slow down. The fun part is we now have several state laboratories where guns were all but banned and now they are allowing concealed carry and easier ownership. Illinois and DC for example - could be a chance to observe the actual results - but I suspect even with more guns in private hands and evidence of continuing drops in crime - no liberal would ever believe the data. There are no peer reviewed studies proving legal gun ownership increases crime. There are studies saying it reduces crime and they have been peer reviewed.
