Here's an article that presents a realistic view of the situation.

Mythbusting: Gun Ownership Is On the Decline in the U.S. - The Truth About Guns
Crime is down and has been going down for years. So why would more people be buying guns? The USA has the lowest murder rate in my lifetime. Compared to the 70's I live in a paradise crime stat wise. Burglary and and auto theft down over 60%. Murder down 30%. Rape and aggravated assault are not down but that might be that more people report then before. Or so the police say.

Turn off Fox news. The USA is actually a pretty nice place.
