Violent crime hit an all-time high in 1991. Since then, “gun control” laws have been eliminated or made less restrictive at the federal, state, and local levels; the numbers of privately-owned guns, gun owners, and Right-to-Carry states have risen to all-time highs; and violent crime has dropped 38%. Among the four categories of violent crime, murder has dropped 42%, rape 27%, robbery 45%, and aggravated assault 34%.
