Kinda blows both narratives -
Democrat panic over guns.
Trump narrative of increase in violent crimes.

There are violent crimes that don't involve firearms which this report is focused on.

And not all violent crimes involve firearms, like this.

Homicides by murder weapon in the U.S. 2022 | Statista

Handguns are by far the most common murder weapon used in the United States, accounting for 7,936 homicides in 2022.

The major difference is that the Dems want gun prohibition for law-abiding citizens.

Did Violent Crime Go Up or Down? Yes, It Did. - Council on Criminal Justice

While the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting data showed a drop in the nation’s violent crime rate in 2022, data from the National Crime Victimization Survey showed that violent crime victimization increased. What does this discrepancy mean and why might it exist?

What the data says about crime in the U.S.

Federal statistics show dramatic declines in U.S. violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s.

Your original post - said homicide rates were down regardless of weapon by 21% - with a firearm down 25%


"
  • Homicide rates in the United States dropped by 21% from 2022 to 2023, with firearm-related homicides decreasing by 25% during the same period, returning firearm-related homicide rates to pre-2020 levels at 4.7 per 100,000 people.

Nice attempt at deflection. My statement backed up by info, clearly said not all violent crimes involve a firearm.

Regardless of the reported rates violent crime still exists, and varies by location such as in big Dem run cities vs. in other parts of the country.
 
Thanks for the links to the article, Talyn. After reading them, I feel like my head is spinning! Where I live, I believe violent crime is up and that most people in this area would agree. Although, I believe nationwide that the push by the NRA (and others) for states to allow concealed carry and constitutional carry may be helping to drive down violent crime. But, unless I missed it none of the articles got into the “why” violent crime maybe down. Like they say, an armed society is a polite society!
