So the statistics about the decreasing violent crime rates don't parallel gun control???

"Now it shows that firearm ownership has increased but crime is going down. This seems to indicate that there is no relationship between firearm ownership and crime.
The evidence is out there. gun control does not work."

It seems to me that putting two and two together doesn't work very well for you. If overall gun ownership and the population is increasing but violent crime rates are decreasing then there must be some sort of reason. Like how about gun control??? Wasn't there an increase in that during this same time period??? Do ya think we could link those together???

I would argue that good old fashion values can only do so much. By your logic we should go by the same rules our grandparents had ~ but if they had a higher crime rate that wouldn't make much sense now would it.....so I'm limited to 10 rounds in my 9mm that I NEED to carry to the grocery store when I pick up milk or the .45 I hide under my pillow. That's going to certainly reduce the number of holes I put in my teenage daugther when she decides to sneak home one after going out with some friends. It's a shame isn't it.
