The FBI must be in the pocket of the NRA, because they produce statistics that show that crime is still falling rapidly. Just like the 2013 CDC study on gun control that they all conveniently overlook.

So rapidly in fact, that it's getting more challenging for our control minded friends to find more dangerous countries to compare the US to without cooking the books and carefully selecting countries.

I saw one post in a GD thread last week that went on about the US suicide rate and guns, then without thinking or looking it up, compared us to gun free Japan. Whooops!

Someone was kind enough to quickly point out that error in judgement.
