5 Facts About Guns, Schools, And Violence

5 Facts About Guns, Schools, And Violence →

By Joe Martin in Politics

Reason.TV put together a nice, short, video talking about 5 gun violence facts that most people aren't aware of.

  1. Violent crime – including violent crime using guns – has dropped massively over the past 20 years.

  2. Mass shootings have not increased in recent years.

  3. Schools are getting safer.

  4. There Are More Guns in Circulation Than Ever Before.

  5. “Assault Weapons Bans” Are Generally Ineffective.

Americans own more guns than ever before and yet our schools are safer, violent crime is down, and mass shootings are down. When I hear all of that, I don't think that we need stricter gun control or that everyone needs to get rid of their guns.
