11/10/14 FBI releases latest data on crime stats (2013)

[Brian]

Admittedly, it probably takes a lot more background and understanding to read these stats correctly.

However -

Violent crime down 4.4 percent vs 2012 (While US population increased a little under 1%)

1,163,146 violent crimes reported
14,196 murders
of those 12,253 had some sort of weapon
of those 8,454 used a firearm of some type
of those 285 used a rifle (any type)

I wonder what percentage of those 285 were ar-15 style?

I really don't understand why the scary black rifle receives so much attention.

Mine have more FDE... does it make it less scary and prone to unintentional asshattery?

[Rucker61]

I wonder how the antis would feel about ones with pink furniture and rainbow stickers.

[Artema]

Does SOCOM Blue still count as black? It is really dark.

I don't understand statistics, I'll wait for the Democrats to explain them to me.
