Why slowing US gun sales aren’t good news for gun-control advocates
"...background checks by the government’s National Instant Criminal Background Check Systems (NICS) declined by 12% during the quarter, another sign that sales have slowed."
Naturally, in the midst of massive increases of firearms throughout the U.S. population, combined with the relaxation of gun control laws, we're obviously awash in unbridled crime, right?
Quite the opposite. Crime is at an all-time low.
Mass-shootings have risen, but as the vast majority of them were on psychotropic drugs, evidence suggests that's the cause.
