There has been a remarkable decline in the amount crime involving firearms. Homicides have seen a nearly 50% drop from 1993 to 2010 and over a 70% drop in non-fatal gun related crimes. Two things to learn: 1. Most gun crime in the United States is non-fatal. 2. From 1993 to 2010 gun related crimes have been rapidly decreasing.
