There is some merit to that argument. My opinion is that RISING violent crime was happening in the 1990s and it is ONLY in the last 2 years that we have that 30% rise in GUN ownership. Something else is going on. Also, the court system has been jammed up since, at least, the 1990s. Also, the US has the world's MOST incarcerated % of people - that is not new.
........I put out my theory about the 30% GUN rise. Which is the EMOTIONAL PROPAGANDA linking the AR-15 style firearms as a SYMBOL STANDING for the HATRED and resentment fomented in the dark web to divide US Americans by race and economic standing. Russian and Chinese propaganda may have lit the spark for this resentment, but some of the sinister, unpatriotic US media has RUN with it and a large % of US citizens have bought it.
.........I am willing to entertain other theories for the big increase in the last 2 years. Many are unaware of that - it is NOT an insignificant situation.
