FBI Report: Murders, rapes, assaults and robberies continue to drop nationally

(GunReports.com) -- Violent crime nationwide dropped 6 percent in 2010, declining for the fourth straight year, while property crimes also were down for the eighth consecutive year, falling 2.7 percent, the FBI announced Monday.

The declines continued despite predictions that crime would worsen because of the recession.

In 2010, there were an estimated 1,246,248 violent crimes reported nationwide and 9,082,887 property crimes, according to the FBI’s annual report on Crime in the United States. The report is based on statistics submitted from 18,108 state, city, county, university and college, tribal and federal police agencies.

Each of the four violent crime offenses decreased nationwide when compared with 2009. Murder was down 4.2 percent, forcible rape declined 5 percent, aggravated assault fell 4.1 percent and robbery dropped 10 percent.

Property crimes also decreased nationwide in 2010. The largest decline, 7.4 percent, was for motor vehicle thefts followed by a 2.4 percent decrease in larceny-thefts and a 2 percent drop in burglaries.

The longer this continues the better for gun owners and our rights. America will lead the way in the world (behind Switzerland however) re: violent crimes reduction, and all because we're armed citizens. That should help to dismantle the arguments against citizens with firearms, and perhaps our democratic brother-nations will follow our lead.

And I'm POSITIVE that we CPL holders had a significant positive effect on this. The Brady Bunch must be crying in their beers...

"Blood in the streets," indeed...

As a former police officer, I have seen crime statistics manipulated by a mayor to help his re-election so I don't believe any of this info that the FBI produces. Remember, it is overseen by Justice and Holder.

Rapes are down... That is until what the Government is doing to the taxpayers is figured in. We can include robbery in that statistic as well.

A while back, there was a large banner, hanging from the front of NRA HQ in Virginia, that proclaimed: "It's The Criminals, Stupid!". A corollary that might apply here is: It's The Guns, Stupid!

David - I like your optimism! Sadly though, there is no logic to the gun control argument, thus they don't care...

Mister E - that's funny!

I worked for government contractors. It an incredibly difficult thing for someone to sock away $100k into savings. Yet the Government can fritter away $100k as if it were nothing, and get nothing for it. I quit a good paying job as I was sitting around doing nothing but wasting tax dollars and playing politics, and I was doing more than most. Folks complain about $400 hammers, but at least the taxpayers get a hammer. Most of the time they get nothing for their tax dollars.
