The fact of the matter is despite the narrative being offered by media pundits and politicians, the numbers show that the U.S. is actually becoming less violent. the FBI Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), in 1991 the U.S. murder rate was 9.8 per 100,000 people. In 2011, that number dropped to 4.7, which is about a 54% drop in our murder rate. During that period the U.S. violent crime rate dropped from 758.2 per 100,000 to 386.3 about a 50% reduction!
