Notice the slowdown of the decrease from 2000 on, on both graphs. Would I be correct in saying that the Bush Administrations have been looser with gun control than the Clinton years? I'm open to correction here, but I think that's the case. So crime gets worse as gun control lessens. Of course, that's a huge leap to make from such general, non-specific data, but if you're happy doing that, I'm in. Any response to my previous post

Yes, it
SLOWED. IT DID NOT RISE. They are clearly still going down.

As I've already posted, both the murder and gun murder rates are significantly higher in the US than in another comparable country with vastly reduced gun ownership.

And that makes it wrong? Useless? Oh, and did you even click on the
link that SUBMAN1 Posted (You didn't even reply to it)? Or Dean's
link?
And what is a comparable country to you? England? And as the graphs showed, the crime rate is still dropping.
