I know, right? I thought more guns = more crime.

"As Lachlan Markay notes, the number of people killed by rifles also hit a 5-year low last year and more than five times as many people were killed with a knife (1,490) than with rifles."

Yes, I believe I'll be using this statistic often in arguments with the perpetually ignorant in the near future.

Maybe it has something to do with the 2013 ammo shortage - even gang-bangers couldn't find any.
