Meet George Zimmerman: He Is the NRA

25. You're incorrect. There was a crime drop in the entire U.S. in 2011. Florida has nothing to do

with that crime drop in 2011 throughout the U.S., nor does the Florida law allowing murder have anything to do with the drop of crime in the entire U.S. in 2011, nor does gun ownership have anything to do with the crime drop in the U.S. in 2011.

The number of violent crimes in the United States dropped significantly last year, to what appeared to be the lowest rate in nearly 40 years, a development that was considered puzzling partly because it ran counter to the prevailing expectation that crime would increase during a recession.

In all regions, the country appears to be safer. The odds of being murdered or robbed are now less than half of what they were in the early 1990s, when violent crime peaked in the United States. Small towns, especially, are seeing far fewer murders: In cities with populations under 10,000, the number plunged by more than 25 percent last year.
