(5,279 posts)Oh Ms. Miller you're a bad little monkey. Considering your penchant for accuracy. Does everyone you say "good morning" to peak out the window or check their watch?

(6,635 posts)NRA apologists are pasting this story all over DU as "proof" that there is absolutely no need for gun control. We MAY need to regulate swimming pools, shovels, automobiles, and knives, but gun violence is almost nil. Who knew...?

(8,127 posts)one of them being that thankfully our 'street' gangs here in the united states dont kill each other as much they used to .
in los angeles , for example, gang gun homicides are down from 430 in 1992 to 157 in 2009. the police there credit the decline to a 'fragile peace' among most rival gangs and the fact that most of the violent folks (a lot of whom were gang leaders) they arrested in the 90s are still in prison.
heck, gang murders in the entire united states are down 9.3% in just the last 3 years.. and that's with 1,800 murders related to gangs in 2011 (down from over 2,000 in 2009).

(6,635 posts)NRA/Gungeon "statistics." Thanks so much for contributing. FWIW, 100% of people who are killed or injured by guns in the USA are shot by someone with a gun, including suicide and accidents.
This is where you come back with swimming pool, poison, automobile, and snake bite death rates.

I was just pointing out there are a lot of reasons that numbers are down for over all gun violence..
that the reasoning of 'its because more people have guns!' has little to do with it
there are many many factors that's play into the over all decline in numbers the 'nra/gungeon' folks are attempting to parade around
