<br />Rifles and long barreled guns are best used for warfare and of course hunting. Warfare or civil uprisings are the key in taking them away.

Stunning Video: Government Statistics Prove Armed America Is Safer Than Disarmed Europe

Tuesday, January 1, 2013 16:59

Folks there is a hidden agenda behind the push to ban Rifles and clips the hold more than 5 rounds. The following charts, links to FBI.gov and the statistics show that the gun control push has hidden motives.

The Video below walks you through the continuing decrease in violent crimes since 2002. I have added data and links that go back to 1993. You be the judge. Please help spread this information to all Americans. The Mainstream Media is not reporting on this, nor will they.

Conventional wisdom is that crime rates typically rise with the unemployment rate. The theory is that people without jobs have the motivation and the time to commit crime. This economic downturn, which started nearly four years ago, is something of an anomaly in this respect.

Not only has the crime rate NOT significantly increased with the unemployment rate, but violent crime and property crime rates have decreased over the last several years. In fact, the violent crime rate fell in the United States by 12% in 2010 (the most recent statistics available from the Bureau of Justice Statistics).

This video works psychologically as well as factually, I suppose that s why the opponents will try and twist this into a statistical debate to muddy the message. The messenger keeps a cool head and a perfect minimalist approach that no opponent can refute. A+++

There were 16204 murders in 2002 that s a 1% increase over 2001, But 2002 murder rate was 10.9% lower than 1998 and But a 33.9% decrease over 1993. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2002/02sec2.pdf

So why is Government run Mainstream Media not reporting this positive news? Why does the government fear guns so much? There is a hidden agenda here, but what is it exactly?

From the chart below, Clearly Rifles are not the most abused weapon of choice when it comes to murders. In fact Rifles of all types seem to be the least prefered weapons of choice. So why is the government working so hard to remove Rifles from society? These are the questions that need to be answered. Folks some thing clearly is not right with the recent push by mainstream Media and the government attacking the ownership of Rifles and clips that hold more than 5 rounds.
