While violent crime has gone down over the years, property crime has not. Plus you have to understand the statistics are just that, ie percentages. The percentages may be down but there are many more people in the country these days. I have a friend that used to live in Silsbee, Texas. He had some friends over one day and decided to show off his guns which were buried in closets and out of sight. The next day they were gone. He wonders which of his "friends" came back. It makes it hard to trust anyone these days.
