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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
