Gun Violence is 54% of the 1993 level. It was only high in the late eighties and nineties because a three-letter agency was pumping crack cocaine into cities. Now, after a couple of hoaxes, even Republicans are screaming for gun control. Sheesh. Why doesn't the US control the armaments it sells to anybody around the world? US is number one in world gun sales but not much else anymore. The logic escapes me.
