Minnesota has experienced the lowest rates of violent crimes for 47 years and yet, Minnesota now has the highest rates of gun purchases that they’ve ever seen in their history. Hundreds of thousands of new guns were purchased by Minnesotans – if that’s the correct way to say that – last year in 2017. Yet, the crime rates are the lowest they’ve seen in 47 years. How can that be? If the presence of guns causes all kinds of crimes, then how is it exactly that Minnesota has the lowest rates they’ve seen in half a century of crime – even though they have the highest rates of gun ownership that they’ve ever seen or gun purchases? You see the truth is that more guns actually equals less crime when the guns are in the hands of law-abiding citizens…” Listen to the full podcast below:
