A few days ago we reported of the influence of pistol purchasing/ownership with a decrease in crime rate. The FBI has now released a report confirming what every gun owner already knows… gun ownership increasing will deter thugs.
According to the report, while background checks for firearm purchasers hit record levels in 2013 — 21,093,273 to be exact — “violent crimes in 2013 decreased 4.4 percent when compared with 2012 figures, and the estimated number of property crimes decreased 4.1 percent.”
It’s important to note that background checks for firearm purchasers are fewer than the number of guns sold. Breitbart explains:
… the number of guns sold could be many times higher. That is because background checks are done on gun purchasers, not on the number of guns being purchased.
The truth is that gun purchasers could have picked up multiple firearms during sales, and the numbers wouldn’t include private sales, anyway.
