Obama says gun violence is up, and getting worse by the day

[festeringZit]

The number and rate of firearm murders has hit a new low since the sky-high gun killings during the 1990s, with California topping an FBI list despite having some of the toughest anti-gun laws on the books.
Data from the FBI and Pew Research Center show that all gun violence has declined since the Clinton era, though suicides blamed on guns has ticked up.
In a new report, Pew said that between 1993 and 2000, the firearm murder rate dropped by almost half, from seven homicides to 3.8 homicides per 100,000 people. It also said that all gun deaths -- murder, suicide, police and accidental -- have dropped 30 percent since 1993.

The FBI data shows that the actual number of gun murders has dropped from 10,129 in 2007 to 8,454 in 2013. California had the most at 1,224, though it has several anti-gun laws in force.
The FBI also reported that the overall murder rate in the United States has declined. About three quarters of all murders involve firearms. "In 2013, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 14,196. This was a 4.4 percent decrease from the 2012 estimate, a 7.8 percent decrease from the 2009 figure, and a 12.1 percent drop from the number in 2004," said the agency.

Actually to quote the Wall Street Journal in May of 2015:

The nations two decade long crime decline may be over. Gun violence in particular is spiraling upward in cities across America.

But your stats from a few years ago are interesting.

the least prepared man in the room is categorically incorrect? yet again!!!!!!!!

A) so? nothing new here!!!!
B) what difference doesn't make? he's been wrong about everything and libtards still suck him dry

"lie to me, I promise I'll believe"

 

[Willie99]

PS: the lying loser couldn't even reduce violence in the community he "organized", the place is a shit hole like most libtarded run community (but somehow, they manage to blame their problems on the people that choose to live better lives)

fucking dolts

He's not incorrect but you are......again. When discussing statistics you should try to use the current year. These type of articles are like posting an article from 2013-2014 on how bad the Mets are.

Are you getting any of this? Ah, forget it.

There are no statistics for "the current year" and "may be over" is not a statistic. In fact, the gun crime statistics from 2014 are still estimates.

Obama is specularly wrong.

He also asserted that "buying a gun is easier than buying a book" which is on par with his intellect.

With most major city reporting increase in their gun violence....we can assume that it's on the rise.

Well, I think shootings are up in NYC, Chicago, and DC but that isn't a national trend.

Baltimore as well but for obvious reasons. I think his comments were based on current information. Either way I'm sure he has more current than what is posted here.

Gun crimes in the demographic of people I acquaint with is at a remarkably low rate.

Having kids, a full time job, a spouse, employees, a business and tons and tons of responsibility is enough to make one wanna kill people.

I wonder what demographic it is Barack Obama is talking about ? I bet its not the 35-45 year old white working married male with kids demographic.

I think the demographic he's talking about is the entire United States as a whole. Ya know what I find odd about repubs..they often think if they don't see it on their porch, it must not be happening.

We know gun violence happens more in the inner cities.

yes, but we can get more money from that demographic by passing more regulations, something they'll actually comply with

the ignorance of libtardism as no bottom, or top, it's just goes on and on and on and on

 

[SheriffJoe]

Simple solution: cut them off.

Stop enabling bad behavior.

OR...you could ask yourself a question or two about why it happens in those particular demographics. Why the fuck do I need to have some sort of regulation slammed down my throat by democrats, because of the failed democratic model of splitting up families, encouraging welfare and rewarding those to do less with their lives? Leads to a life of crime and civil unrest.

But liberal mindset says that EVERYONE should not have guns. Good thinking.

Completely false. Very small minority want all guns taken away but as usual you dolts think it's everyone.

If that was even close to true....don't you think something would have been done about guns during the years of dem control? Instead you numbskulls have more guns than ever. Periodically you guys should think and have a clue before posting.

 

[vitterd]

Jeez.....several knockouts and it isn't even noon yet. You guys should all hold a group meeting to figure shit out. A new game plan or something. It's becoming too easy. This is Hillary vs Gowdy type beatings.
