K-increasing – Firearms Carry More Prevalent

A recent increase in law-abiding gun ownership bodes well for the country’s future.

The great arming is underway, and that’s a very good thing for our nation, for our culture, and for the relationship between citizen and state.

On Thursday, John Lott and the Crime Prevention Research Center published a comprehensive survey of the growth in concealed-carry permits in the United States. The numbers are stunning — not just in their growth, but in their depth and consequence. Here’s a sampling.

During Barack Obama’s presidency, the number of concealed-carry permit holders increased by a whopping 256 percent. The numbers have increased across multiple demographics, with a higher percentage growth for women than men and for black citizens than white. In eleven states at least 10 percent of the adults possess carry permits. All told, 16.36 million Americans have carry permits, a number that understates the amount of people who carry weapons, since 14 states “have adopted constitutional carry in all or part of the state” — which means that no permit is required for citizens to carry a gun. At the same time that carry permits have increased at an astonishing rate, violent crime has decreased, and concealed-carry permit holders remain remarkably law-abiding. From 2007 to 2015, murder rates decreased by 12.5 percent and “overall violent crime fell by 18 percent.”

Notice violent crime was going down. Yet still people feel an increasing drive toward K. That is the subconscious awareness of the approaching cataclysm.

I think those who are prone to K will particularly notice the irresponsibility of the modern age. We know we can’t provide unlimited free healthcare to all the baby-boomers as they enter the end stages of their lives. We know free phones, free cars, free food, free housing, and all the other freebies offered today will bankrupt the government. We see pensions, Social Security, Medicare, the very currency we spend, the banks, the stock market, the credit industry, and even the state all going down.

And as we do all that, we import hostile Muslims with 68 IQs, and the entire third world, offering them whatever freebies they want to entice them, even though we know all of those freebies will go away at some point.

The coming disaster is obvious to us, and circuitry deep in our brains is registering that and turning the K-predisposed populace ever more K.

All of that is a good thing.
