Of course it did, but most of the increase is due to justifiable shootings.
But they don't tell you that, no siree. |

"Homicide" simply means "killing a man," the word in itself has no moral value. A muder is a homicide -- but so is a self-defense shooting, though a self-defense shooting is not murder. I'm REALLY REALLY sorry if more criminals are getting themselves shot while they are going around assaulting, stealing, and murdering. If they wish to actually AVOID being ...."homicided" ;) then perhaps they should consider honest work. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
