However, if you're wanting to confirm the numbers directly from the FBI, you may do so here:

Your post implies the FBI stats prove more guns equals less crime, but the report fails to mention anything about background checks or firearm ownership. You are drawing an imaginary line between the two and accepting it as fact.

On top of this, stats seem to indicate gun ownership is down... Drastically.

Over the past forty years, gun ownership is down and violent crime is down. Wouldn't one draw the conclusion that violent crime is down because gun ownership is down?
