MORE ARMED CITIZENS EQUALS FEWER DEAD COPS? Data suggests that an armed society is a safer society for law enforcement officers, too

 

 

In the wake of the gun control push that began after Sandy Hook, Americans purchased more firearms and ammunition in 2013 than in any given year in history. The super-majority of these firearms were semi-automatic pistols, followed by modern sporting rifles such as the AR-15 and AKs.

According to citizen control advocates that like to falsely equate more guns with more violence, this year should have been a bloodbath for everyone, including law enforcement officers.

Instead, police are on pace for the lowest officer death rate in a over century.
