Baldwin v Brady 2011 gun crimes

Yesterday, I compared the Baldwin top ten states with the least restrictive gun laws to the Brady top ten states with the most restrictive gun laws with regards to the violent crime and murder rates. Of course states with the least restrictive gun laws have lower crime rates, but what about gun crimes? Certainly, states that don't prohibit their citizens from carrying loaded, concealed guns in public places must have more gun crime, right? At least that's what the anti-rights cultists want you to believe. Let's take a look at the Brady states:

Information was obtained from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports Table 20, Table 21, and Table 22

Hawaii information is absent from the UCR and therefore could not be included in the robberies or aggravated assaults.

Once again, the states that suppress the rights of the citizens come in below the national average. Does this mean that gun control laws work at reducing gun crime? No.

As you can see in this table, in the states with the least restrictive gun laws, guns are used in robberies 22% LESS, 28% LESS in aggravated assaults and 16.70% LESS in homicides than the states with the most restrictive gun laws. Apparently more guns do not mean more gun crimes nor does more restrictive gun laws mean less gun crime.

Baldwin v Brady 2011 crime rates

Earlier this year I compared the Brady Top Ten states with the most restrictive gun laws to the Baldwin Top Ten states with the least restrictive gun laws with regards to the Violent Crime Rates and the Murder/Non-negligent Homicide Rates. (All information was obtained from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, 2011, Table 5)

As you would expect, the Baldwin Top Ten states had lower violent crime rates as well as lower homicide rates than did the Brady Top Ten. Here's what it looks like:

The violent crime rate for Illinois does not include data from Chicago. The data collection methodology for the offense of forcible rape used by Chicago, Illinois does not comply with national UCR Program guidelines.

Once again, the Brady top ten states came in under the national average, but barely

And, the Baldwin Top Ten:

Yes, once again, the gun loving states have lower violent crime and homicide rates than the national average and the Brady Paradises. Just so you boys and girls don't have to do the math, the Baldwin states have a 28.72% LOWER Violent Crime Rate and a 33.50% LOWER Murder Rate than the gun hating states that the Brady Bunch loves so much.

When I get some time in the next couple of days, I'll compare the gun crime rates between the Brady Top Ten and the Baldwin Top Ten.
