I believe the decrease in crime in this country is related to social programs, mostly championed by Democrats, that have reduced true poverty. When I say "true poverty" I'm alluding to the fact that now almost no one goes hungry, almost everybody has air conditioning and nice TV's, there are more and affordable entertainment choices, etc. etc. In other words, the great majority of us are living comfortably now, while connected and occupied by social media. And drugs are so easy to come by, despite their illegality, it hardly makes sense for a common consumer to commit murders to get them. And on and on and on.

Like I said, there are multiple reasons why crime rates have come down.... gun proliferation not among them.

So by your own admission, other factors worked outside of gun control. Yet, you want gun control...
