Ya'll need to put the homicide rate chart on yer facebook and twitter pages. That tells the whole story right there.
There are a lot of charts in this link that tell quite the story as well. I'll leave it to you to figure it out: http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htius.pdf

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Some minds are so steadfast in their belief that nothing will change their opinions. Zealots but without the religion.

I mentioned "causation or correlation" in reference to the book, "Freakonomics". In it, the authors argued that the drop in crime that began around 1991 was due more likely to the 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling legalizing abortion than any other cause. Quite simply, kids who would have been committing crime (as adults) beginning in 1991, had been aborted! So, no crime from them (nor those aborted after them).
Yet Indy homicide rate is at a all time high with a high number of gun owners and very favorable gun laws. Not everything is as it seems.

Oh, I know. I have no idea what the number is right now. I think it is lower so far than last year but that is a pretty low bar. Until we address the WILL to harm other people, this will never get better.Where are we at now?
But you already know that the increase legal gun ownership and the homicide rate aren't directly related.

Oh I know.We have a Gang Problem here in Indy, not a gun problem. Pay attention on who is doing the killing, it's the thugs, drug dealers, just plain evil people.
Wow. Just... wow. So now you're advocating abortion as a way to reduce crime. Well yeah, I guess if every single pregnancy ended in abortion pretty soon there would be no one left to commit crimes. Brilliant strategy there.
