Big difference in gun ownership and what we shoot at in America from Pakistan. Do you own any guns Mazhur??
No, I don't have any gun. No need...
However, had used guns during hunting trips a couple of times decades ago
It appears suicide bombers are doing better than what you 'shoot at in America from Pakisan''. Indeed a great feat accomplished!!
Both you and Stone are Liars...
Americans are switching over to 'gun culture' and that's kinda diversion to creating ' home terrorism'
9 signs America’s gun obsession is getting worse
STEVEN ROSENFELD, ALTERNET
It goes beyond open carry activists displaying their firearms in restaurant chains. Even the NRA seems perplexed
What does your Justice department say about this??FBI stats on crime
FBI may not be reliable but it appears from their chart that crime at home is graphed to decrease without stating that you are committing more crime against humanity in other places?
The US has always had a gun culture, mazHur.
Protection of it is even written into our Constitution.
FBI stats on crime
Crime rate increased in America
The violent crime rate went up 15 percent last year, and the property crime rate rose 12 percent, the government said Thursday, signs that the nation may be seeing the last of the substantial declines in crime of the past two decades.
Last year marked the second year in a row for increases in the crime victimization survey, a report that is based on household interviews.
This is one of the primary reasons why so many people are moving out of the big cities right now. In the city of Chicago, police are so overwhelmed with crime that they will no longer respond in person “to 911 calls reporting vehicle theft, garage burglary or simple assault“.
Things have gotten so bad in Chicago that a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted as she was walking to a bus stop this week and it barely made a blip on the news.
But we have come to expect this kind of thing in crime-infested cities such as Chicago. We don’t expect it to happen in “quiet communities” such as Augusta, Georgia…
“When we first moved out here three and a half years ago, my wife and I, it was a quiet community, it was a deal that we felt we couldn’t pass up on,” Don McIntee says.
McIntee lives in the Butler Creek Mobile Home Community, but he’s trying to change that. He recently put his home up for sale because he says the crime in his neighborhood is too much to deal with.
“I want to live in a place that I feel is secure and safe for my wife because I’m out of town a lot,” he says.
And it seems like criminals are becoming more brutal than ever. For example, one thug actually put his gun into the mouth of a 92-year-old World War II veteran in Fresno, California and threatened to kill him during one recent home invasion…
“I was sound asleep at about one or two o’clock in the morning, all the lights were on and a guy shook me with a gun in my face. (I said) Hey what’s going on? (He said) Shut up and he slapped me,” he explained.
While the suspect held him at gunpoint, three others ransacked his house, taking about 200 dollars in cash and jewelry including his 1941 class ring from Woodlake High School in Tulare County.
“They were in there for almost a half hour,” said Fresno County Sheriff Department spokesperson Chris Curtice. “So they had plenty of time to search the house, it was the middle of the night.”
At one point, Joseph said one of the suspects put a gun in his mouth and threatened to kill him. While being ordered into the bedroom closet, he said he hit him in the head with a handgun, causing him to fall to the floor.
Was there any need for that? That 92-year-old man was certainly no threat to the four home invaders.
But this is what is happening all over the nation now. Criminals appear to be getting crazier and crazier.
In Houston recently, one team of home invaders decided to storm a house at 8 AM in the morning while people all along the street were leaving their homes to go to work and to school…
It was about 8am — daylight, with people going to work and kids going to school, yet no one apparently saw this coming. The homeowner told me four men, armed with guns, broke in through her garage and forced their way inside her house.
The woman’s daughter and son-in-law were in the home with her, along with two of their daughters, ages four and six. The homeowner says the gunmen pointed guns at all of them — even the children — and demanded money over and over. They ransacked the house and the cars- and eventually got away with some cash, at least one cell phone and the homeowner’s wallet.
Who robs a house at 8 AM in the morning?
That is either incredibly bold or incredibly stupid.
In my article yesterday, I included another example of a crime which is either incredibly bold or incredibly stupid. One very enterprising carjacker actually decided to try to carjack the police chief of Detroit while he was sitting in a clearly marked police vehicle…
Just four months on the job, Detroit’s new police chief got an early taste of the city’s hardscrabble streets.
While in his patrol car at an intersection on Jefferson two weeks ago, Police Chief James Craig was nearly carjacked, police spokeswoman Kelly Miner confirmed today.
Craig said he was in a marked police car with mounted lights when a man quickly tried to approach the side of his car. Craig, who became police chief in June, retold the story Monday during a program designed to crack down on carjackings.
So what is going on here?
Are criminals becoming bolder or are they just becoming stupider?
I don’t have an answer for that question, but one thing seems certain – crime is definitely getting worse.
As I mentioned at the top of this article, some criminals are now actually stealing entire truckloads of food. A recent CBS News article explained how they are doing this…

As I mentioned at the top of this article, some criminals are now actually stealing entire truckloads of food. A recent CBS News article explained how they are doing this…
To steal huge shipments of valuable cargo, thieves are turning to a deceptively simple tactic: They pose as truckers, load the freight onto their own tractor-trailers and drive away with it.
It’s an increasingly common form of commercial identity theft that has allowed con men to make off each year with millions of dollars in merchandise, often food and beverages. And experts say the practice is growing so rapidly that it will soon become the most common way to steal freight.
And what we are talking about is not just a few isolated incidents. This is literally happening from coast to coast and the dollar values of some of these thefts are staggering…

And what we are talking about is not just a few isolated incidents. This is literally happening from coast to coast and the dollar values of some of these thefts are staggering…
News reports from across the country recount just a few of the thefts: 80,000 pounds of walnuts worth $300,000 in California, $200,000 of Muenster cheese in Wisconsin, rib-eye steaks valued at $82,000 in Texas, [25,000] pounds of king crab worth $400,000 in California.
As economic conditions continue to deteriorate, I actually expect that we will start seeing armed guards on food trucks in a few years.

and that is one reason for violent crime rise in America
Needless to say, gun culture is conducive to producing a 'terrorist culture'....the Taliban's too have 'gun culture' and no Taliban has ever slept without a gun by his pillow!!
Use google to find out.
Your problem is reading comprehension. The graph is for murder& manslaughter, violent crime, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Crime at home is not specified as such.
Again, you've distorted and lied to present a different meaning.
You are the grand master of lying.
this report too rejects your misleading findings,,,you can google for more if you like

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
The FBI says that violent crime rose across the United States last year.
The information came from the preliminary annual crime report the agency compiles.
The report, issued Monday, shows a 1.2 percent increase in the number of violent crimes in 2012.
The report is based on information the FBI gathered from 13,770 law enforcement agencies that submitted data.
According to the statistics, murder and manslaughter were up 1.5 percent. Aggravated assault was up 1.7 percent. Robbery was up 0.6 percent.
The report found that violent crime was up in metropolitan areas and was down in rural areas.
Violent crime increased 3.7 percent in cities with populations of 500,000 to 999,999, the largest increase in the city groupings, according to the report.
Murder rates were up more than 10 percent in mid-sized cities, designated with populations between 500,000 to 999,000.
Small cities, with populations of 50,000 to 99,999, showed the only decrease of murder and manslaughter offenses with a 1.3 percent drop.
Large cities saw a 3.2 percent increase in reported rapes while the numbers dropped 3.5 percent in small cities.
Robberies increased 1.1 percent in metropolitan counties and declined 1.1 percent in nonmetropolitan counties.
There was good news when it came to burglaries. Nationally, burglary cases decreased 3.6 percent.
The report showed an increase in car thefts nationally.
