Proof gun control works

[Aegon]

I'm going to say that's a poor point to make due to the absolutely insane increase in gun sales / gun manufacturing. The amount of guns manufactured skyrocketed from 3 million in 1985 to 11 million in 2013. The latest research says there are almost 400 MILLION firearms throughout the U.S. (both legally and illegally owned.)  I don't have numbers from the 1950s to compare to, but... I have a suspicion it's less lol.

Yup. There is far more guns now ...

Oddly - there is far less murder.


Think not?


Google "murder rate in us per capita since 1900"


Despite there being far more guns - there are less murders.... Close to half.

And 1/6th since the country began
.

Is the point of all this to control murder rates in general? Or to make it more difficult for a person to rack up a body count in a school/mall/etc?
