so incredibly misinformed... so sad.
-
Crime rates have been coming to one of the lowest points since the 60's, so take your derp elsewhere please.
-
Lower =/= Low
-
lower > higher
-
Of course. They're getting better. Doesn't mean they're at a reasonable level.

Edited by Capitons Wang: 4/7/2013 5:34:46 PMSeriously, thats your response? Dude, get something better and come back. If the crime rate has been decreasing steadily on a 20 year span, you cant say they are high, they are lower than previously.
-
Yes, I can. I could say Mexico has a lower crime rate than last year (I have no idea if that's true, but it's irrelevant). It doesn't mean it's low. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes The United States still have a considerably higher crime rate then the next on the list, the United Kingdom.

Notice how it says "total crimes"? It's not broken down per capita. That's 11 million crimes for 313 million Americans, and 6 million crimes for 62 million Britons. When I divide these "total crimes" by the population, I get a per capita rate of 0.104 for the UK and 0.037 for the United States. Please come back when you understand how statistics work.

Edited by Maple: 4/10/2013 3:01:12 PMI googled 'crime rate per capita'. I assumed therefore that it was per capita. My mistake. I do know how statistics work.

Well, if it was an honest mistake. . . I apologise for being a dick. I'm just tired of seeing people make faulty gun-control arguments based on false, misleading, misunderstood, or otherwise improperly used information.
-
Still isnt the highest
-
"Ban all the drugs!" is why crime rates are so high.
-
And it is also why crime is stopped.
-
Oh yeah, because guns are the only way to defend yourself...
-
Because a guy in my house with a hand gun is gonna get wrecked with a baseball bat.
