Gun crimes drop sharply - Video on NBCNews.com
ahhh the beauty of more than one head in the game....thanx.

And as per usual Brian Williams will always, ALWAYS put the slant on the message they want the public left with. For example in this news clip all the stats show a significant down trend which he reports, however his last but, states that 70% of all murders are done with guns. That is very misleading and of course the last thing a person hears. Remember what he wants his audience to dwell on is the big number 70% "of all murders".

I errooneously refer to the network news broadcasts as mainstream media....perhaps the alphabet media is a better assignation.

At least his report updates the findings through 2011. Seems the real facts of the matter are the gun statistics are much different than most people are aware of in the normal (whatever that may be) reporting.
