Of course it did, but most of the increase is due to justifiable shootings.
But they don't tell you that, no siree. |

"Homicide" simply means "killing a man," the word in itself has no moral value. A muder is a homicide -- but so is a self-defense shooting, though a self-defense shooting is not murder.
I'm REALLY REALLY sorry if more criminals are getting themselves shot while they are going around assaulting, stealing, and murdering. If they wish to actually AVOID being ...."homicided" ;) then perhaps they should consider honest work. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
