Description
Infographic
Infographics showing that 15 counties in the United states, with 8% of the population produce 25% of all gun homicides.
States with "strict" gun control laws get a larger share of traced crime guns from other "strict" states, and not states with "lax" gun control laws.
What works and does not work in terms of gun control laws at the state level. Most restrictive and paper work laws do nothing to reduce crime, and may encourage robbery.
Infographic showing that the U.S. homicide rate fell during expansion of concealed carry laws. It also shows how homicides rose during both Prohibition and America's War On Drugs.
How likely are you to die in a mass shooting? It is the least of your worries. You are more than a thousand times more likely to die from Parkinson's Disease.
What is the probability of being injured by an attacker given various ways of defending yourself? If you want to stay whole and healthy, using a gun is your top option.
Do more guns cause less crime? There are many variables to examine, but we can see that a rise in handgun availability/supply and the number of states with shall-issue and constitutional concealed carry coincided with a drop in firearm violence (fatal and non-fatal). Though this does not prove that more guns leads to less crime, it does show that they don't create a bigger problem.
Defensive Gun Uses (DGUs) primarily occur at or near the defenders home.
Defensive Gun Uses (DGUs) prevent a variety of crimes. Most importantly, almost 60% of the crimes prevented involved at least one violent crime (some instances involve multiple crimes, hence why the pie slices are more than 100% and that the violent crime slices, though including 59% of all instances are less than 50% of all crimes committed).
New York City's low violent crime rate is not from its ancient gun control laws, but from recent bulking-up of the police force and clean-up of crime-ridden neighborhoods. It also mirrors the drop in violence nationally.
