GUN HOMICIDE RATE is DOWN 49% SINCE its
1993 PEAK;
Yet the PUBLIC is UNAWARe.
nearly 98% of the population believes
it is the other way around.
This
article shows the gun crime statistics gleaned from the FBI files that are
totaled every two years.
It
is simple accounting my friend, which is done everywhere, in every business,
everyday throughout the country. It is used to tally everything from big
banking to lemonade stands, and yet the general public believes the complete
opposite of the truth. Why is that?
It
is because we are lied to by anyone and everyone that has been indoctrinated or
programed by the hate America elite. If
you believe that gun crime is up, up, up then you have become a useful idiot of
the minority of Fabian Communists who are trying to do to America what Marx,
Lenin, Stalin, did to Russia. Or what Hitler did to Germany and most of Europe. The
desire for absolute power and control.
One
cannot achieve absolute power until the population is disarmed. Read your history book my friend.
This particular study is
limited to crime, actually gun crime.
But one must realize that this is only one of many thousands of
important issues that the American population has been misled and/or downright
lied to about. The result is staggering.
It amounts to mind control, which is the bases for George Orwell’s book
1984.
The daunting truth
is…that it is surreptitiously becoming a reality…
The
following information is an amassing of statistics which can sometimes be
boring, but if you are interested in the truth for a change rather than
baseless lies, then at least scan this article and discover where the truth
comes from. This information is put together by the (independent) Pew Research
Center using statistics from the FBI files from 1993 until 2010.
Every
time there is a shooting among the 300 million plus people in America it is
front page news as it should be, but what follows is a call for gun bans and
more gun laws by the useful idiots, based on nothing but emotion and hysteria.
In
the early 1800’s during the time of the so-called wild, wild west there were
more guns per capita than there is today, and less crime overall.
As
more gun laws were enacted in the early 1900’s, the crime rate went up until
1993 when gun ownership went up, up, up.
As more and more guns were purchased by citizens, all violent crime went
down but particularly, the gun crime, went down, down, down.
Firearm Deaths
In 2010, there were 31,672 deaths
in the U.S. from firearm injuries, mainly through suicide (19,392) and homicide
(11,078), according to CDC compilation of data from death certificates. The
remaining firearm deaths were attributed to accidents, shootings by police and
unknown causes. The gun homicide rate in 2010 was the lowest it had been since
CDC began publishing data in 1981. Other homicide data, from the FBI’s Uniform
Crime Report (Cooper and Smith, 1980-2008),
indicate that homicide rates are as low now as they were in the 1960s.
The U.S. gun homicide rate and number of homicide victims
plunged during the 1990s, but there has been little change since the end of
that decade. From 1993 to 2000, the death rate dropped 45%, and the number of
victims killed each year fell by nearly 7,500. From 2000 to 2010, the death
rate declined 7%, and the number of victims did not change much. Still, due in part to recent increases in the
number of suicides, firearm homicide accounted for 35% of firearm deaths in
2010, the lowest share since 1981, the first year for which the CDC published
data.
The gun suicide rate has
declined far less than the gun homicide rate since the mid-1990s; the gun
suicide rate began rising in recent years, and the number of victims is
slightly higher than two decades ago. See the textbox at the end of this
section for more detail.
Firearms were used in 68% of homicides in 2010, according
to CDC data. That share has ranged from 64% to 71% since the 1990s. In 2010, firearm homicide was the
fifth leading cause of violent death, after motor vehicle deaths, unintentional
poisoning such as drug overdose, falls and suicide by firearm.
Homicide by means other
than firearms also has declined, though not as much as gun homicide; the
non-firearm rate declined 41% from 1993 to 2010, according to CDC data.
Another way of examining firearm violence is to look at
data from the CDC for firearm injuries, which comes from a survey of hospital
emergency rooms. In 2011, nearly 74,000 injuries from firearms were reported in
the CDC database, according to a Pew Research Center analysis. Of those, about
56,000 (75%) resulted from assaults. Since
2000, the share of firearm injuries that are the result of assaults has ranged
from 63% to 75%.
Deaths from mass shootings
are a relatively small share of firearm homicides. According to a recent
Congressional Research Service report (Congressional Research Service,
2013), 78 public mass shootings
occurred in the United States from 1983 through 2012, claiming 547 lives and
injuring 476 people. (The count does not include the shooters.)
The Congressional
Research Service report did not assess whether mass shootings are more or less
frequent than they used to be, but noted that they are relatively uncommon. It
stated: “Mass shootings are rare, high-profile events, rather than broad trends
that require systematic data collection to understand.”
Noting that definitions
differ, the report defined “public mass shootings” as those
happening in relatively public places, killing at least four people (not
including the shooter) and having a “somewhat indiscriminate” choice of
victims. The violence in these cases counted by CRS was “not a means to an end such as
robbery or terrorism.”
A Bureau of Justice Statistics review of homicide trends
from 1980 to 2008 (Cooper and Smith, 2011) found that homicides with multiple victims (in this case,
three or more) have increased somewhat as a share of incidents, but are a small
share of the total. Less than 1% of
homicides each year claim three or more victims. These homicides, most of which
are shootings, increased as a share of all homicides from 0.5% in 1980 to 0.8%
in 2008, according to the bureau’s data.
Homicides with more than one victim were more likely to involve firearms
than single-victim homicides, the review concluded. In 2008, 77% of homicides
with two or more victims involved guns, according to the Bureau of Justice
Statistics review, compared with 66% of single-victim homicides.
Gender and
Age Groups Men (and boys) make up the vast majority (84% in 2010) of gun
homicide victims.
The gun homicide rates
for both genders have declined by similar amounts since the mid-1990s, though
the male rate is much higher—6.2 gun homicides per 100,000 people in 2010,
compared with 1.1 for females.
By age group, 69% of gun
homicide victims are ages 18 to 40, a proportion that has changed little since
1993. These groups also have the highest homicide rates: In 2010, there were
10.7 gun homicides per 100,000 people ages 18 to 24, compared with 6.7 among
those ages 25 to 40, the next highest rate. The lowest rates are for children
younger than 12 and for adults ages 65 and older.
Rates of gun homicide
fell in all age groups from
1993 to 2000, most dramatically for teenagers, and
leveled off or fluctuated since then. From 1993 to 2010, the gun homicide rate
declined 65% for those ages 12 to 17, the largest percentage decrease among age
groups. The smallest decrease, 37%, was for people ages 25 to 40.
Younger adults are
disproportionately likely to be firearms homicide victims. In 2010, young adult’s
ages 18 to 24 were 30% of gun homicide victims in 2010, a higher likelihood
than their 10% share of the population would suggest. Similarly, in 2010,
people ages 25 to 40 accounted for 40% of gun homicide victims, though they
were 21% of the population that year.
Racial and Ethnic Groups
Looked at by race, blacks
are over-represented among gun homicide victims; blacks were 55% of shooting
homicide victims in 2010, but 13% of the population. By contrast, whites are
underrepresented; whites were 25% of the victims of gun homicide in 2010, but
65% of the population. For Hispanics, the 17% share of gun homicide victims was
about equal to their 16% proportion of the total population.
The black homicide death
rate has declined 50% since its peak in 1993, and the number of black homicide
deaths fell by more than a third (37%) from 1993 to 2010. The white homicide
death rate has declined by 42% over that time, and the number of white homicide
deaths declined 39%. The Hispanic shooting homicide rate fell 69% from 1993 to
2000, and the number of deaths declined by 40%. From 2000 to 2010, when the
overall gun homicide rate decline slowed, the Hispanic rate fell 32%, while the
black and white rates declined only 4%.
The share of victims by
racial or ethnic group has changed little since 1993, but the makeup of the
U.S. population has altered. For example, in 1993, Hispanics were 10% of the
population, blacks 12% and whites 73%. From 1993 to 2010, the Hispanic
population share rose 66%, but the Hispanic share of gun homicide victims has
not increased.
The larger decline in
gun homicides among blacks and Hispanics, compared with whites, has had a
disproportionate effect in driving down the overall gun homicide rate. If the
black and Hispanic homicide rates had declined at the same rate as that of
whites, the U.S. gun homicide rate would have declined by 35%, instead of 49%,
from 1993 to 2010, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.
Suicide by Firearm
Based on death
certificates, 19,392 people killed themselves with firearms in 2010, according
to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is the
highest annual total since the CDC began publishing data in 1981, when the
suicide toll was 16,139. Firearm suicide was the fourth leading cause of
violent-injury death in 2010, following motor vehicle accidents, unintentional
poison (including drug overdose) and falls. Firearms accounted for 51% of
suicides in 2010.
The firearm suicide rate
peaked in 1990, at 7.6 per 100,000 people, before declining or leveling off for
most years since then. However, in recent years, the rate has risen somewhat:
From 2007 to 2010, it went up 9%. The firearm suicide rate in 2010 (6.3 per
100,000 people) was the same as it was in 1998. Preliminary 2011 data show
19,766 deaths, and no change in rates from 2010.
The number of firearm
suicides has been greater than the number of firearm homicides since at least
1981. But as firearm homicides have declined sharply, suicides have become a
greater share of firearm deaths. In 2010, 61% of gun deaths were due to
suicide, compared with about half in the mid-1990s. (The remaining firearm
deaths, in addition to suicide and homicide, are accidental, of undetermined
intent or the result of what the CDC terms “legal intervention,” generally a
police shooting.)
Males are the vast
majority of gun suicides (87% in 2010), and the suicide rate for males (11.2
deaths per 100,000 people) is more than seven times the female rate (1.5
deaths). The highest firearm suicide rate by age is among those ages 65 and
older (10.6 per 100,000 people). The rate for older adults has been relatively
steady in recent years; the rate is rising, though, among those ages 41-64,
according to CDC data. Among the three largest racial and ethnic groups, whites
have the highest suicide rate at 8.5 per 100,000, followed by blacks (2.7) and
Hispanics (1.9).
Comparing homicide and
suicide rates, suicide rates are higher than homicide rates for men; they are
about equal for women. By age group, suicide rates are higher than homicide
rates only for adults ages 41-64 and those ages 65 and older. Homicide rates
are higher than suicide rates for blacks and Hispanics; for whites, the suicide
rate is higher than the homicide rate. Detailed tables on gun suicide can be
found in Appendix 1.
6.
According to preliminary 2011 data, there were
32,163 deaths by firearms, including 11,101 homicides and 19,766 suicides. The
overall rate, 10.3 per 100,000 people, was unchanged.
7. According to preliminary 2011 CDC data, there was virtually no change
from 2010 on these measures.
8. Except for 2001, the year that terrorist attacks killed about 3,000
people, when it was 56%.
9. Remaining injuries were unintentional, deliberately self-inflicted or
the result of “legal intervention” by law enforcement officers.
10. Data in this Bureau of Justice Statistics report come from the FBI’s
Supplementary Homicide Reports, part of the Uniform Crime Reporting program.
See Methodology for more details on differences between this source and the CDC
data used elsewhere in this report.
THE BOTTOM LINE: So there you have it. The lies come from hysteria
and out of thin air which is one reason why they are easily circulated. There
are no boring statistics to read, not a lot of time spent on just where the
lies come from, and it feeds the frustration and anger people have when a bunch of innocent people,
especially children are killed by some maniac.
The truth however seems contrary to the feeling generated by the hype of
the media and the Fabian Communist that have only one thing in mind and that is
to disarm America.
Don’t be fooled my
friend, the Second Amendment has multiple purposes, the most important being “…necessary
to the security of a Free State…” and certainly not the least which is
to exercise ones right of self-defense as well as the defense of other innocent
people.
Keep your eye on Jade Helm 15, it is a precursor to Martial Law and to get us
familiar with seeing the military in our neighborhoods. “We are your Government, and we are here to
protect you!”
What we need, is to protect ourselves from’ the
Government!
Don’t be deceived by the lies or you will become an
enabler of your own demise…
