Despite these trends, most U.S. adults think gun crimes have increased. In our 2013 survey, more than half (56%) of Americans said the number of gun crimes had gone up compared with 20 years ago. Another 26% said the number of gun crimes had remained the same, and just 12% said gun crimes had declined

despite the apparent accuracy of the numbers at the above link, it doesn't appear to deal with the recent trend of high volume per incident killings, like the ones we've experienced in the last couple of years. no one can know if this trend will continue
