I would ask if crime has decreased or if enforcement has decreased, giving the perception that crime is down.
I don't think the Second Amendment or the exercise of this amendment applying to citizens was established based on "trends" of either increases or decreases in the current crime rate. I don't believe criminals are posting a schedule of "planned activities and field trips" so we can "plan" when to exercise the Second Amendment accordingly, God Forbid if necessary. Nor is it fair to close off all avenues (range shutdowns) for those who exercise this right to practice and remain proficient in the safe operation and proper handling of their firearm of choice.
