Probably because murder by firearms rates went up quite a bit.

Most of the rest went down but NOT that. *Exactly* as anyone sane
would expect when more people in the US have more guns.


Note to folks:
I crossposted this to rec.guns which seems to be moderated. It took
about a week for the moderators to approve it.


Things slow down some when the moderator is in the hospital. May or may
not have affected your posting.


IF you want anyone to soon see any responses/replies to YOUR
posts don't crosspost to rec.guns. Seems like the moderated groups must first
approve a post before anyone else sees it.

If you crosspost to multiple moderated groups ... shudder.

BTW, THIS post does NOT go to rec.guns.
