The number represents nearly a 25-percent increase over April 2019. It also shows Americans continue to turn to firearms as part of their family safety plan during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n[in_content post=\"123402\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

            FBI NICS Checks Increase Again for April<\/h2>\nThe\u00a0FBI report<\/a>\u00a0shows 2,911,128 background checks conducted in April 2020. This surpasses the April 2019 number of 2,334,249. The report confirms trends first reported here a month ago<\/a>, as Americans of all walks of life chose to purchase firearms. So now, year-over-year data shows a 24.7-percent increase in April. And, not surprisingly, anti-gunners aren't too excited about the trend.\n\n\u201cThis continued surge in gun sales is bringing new risks into American homes that will linger long after the pandemic,\u201d said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety release<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe risks are particularly high for the millions of kids in homes with unsecured guns, women sheltering in place with abusers, and anyone who is struggling psychologically during this crisis. Policymakers have tools to address America\u2019s gun violence crisis, and they should use them.\u201d\n\nOf course, Watts continues to show a lack of understanding of reality. The anti-gun leader recently called all \"gun extremists misogynists<\/a>.\" Now, instead of understanding why Americans turn to gun ownership, she continues the trend to belittle people's ability to remain safe.\n\nBut safety is clearly on Americans' minds during the pandemic. Jurisdictions continue to release prisoners<\/a>. And now reports continue to flow in of prisoners immediately committing crimes in those communities. So it becomes even more clear. When times get tough, more Americans take safety into their own hands.\n\nWith stimulus checks<\/a> pouring in, along with communities continuing to experience irregularities and shutdowns, look for gun purchases to continue at record rates.","post_title":"FBI Reports 24.7 Percent Increase in NICS Checks for April Over 2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-nics-checks-april","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/05\/07\/fbi-nics-checks-april\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":92950,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-10-16 10:16:14","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-16 14:16:14","post_content":"The FBI recently released its annual report Crime in the United States<\/em><\/a>. For the second consecutive year, the estimated number of violent crimes in the country decreased. In 2018, violent crime fell 3.3 percent, while property crime dropped 6.3 percent. This marks the 16 consecutive year those estimates declined.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"119321\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

            FBI Crime Report on Guns<\/h4>\r\nThe violent crime rate fell 3.9 percent when compared with the rate in 2017. Meanwhile, property crime declined 6.9 percent in the same comparison.\r\n\r\nWhile crimes fell in most areas and categories, non-negligent manslaughter offenses fell 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, the estimated volume of aggravated assault offenses decreased by 0.4 percent.\r\n\r\nBut interestingly, for gun owners, how guns came to be used by murderers proves even more interesting. In 2018, 14,123 murders occurred, 10,265 which used a firearm. Of those 10,265 murders, 6,603 reportedly took place with a handgun. Meanwhile, only 297 murders utilized a rifle<\/a>. A shotgun was used 235 times to commit a murder.\r\n\r\nIn the national discourse on firearms currently taking place, the semi-auto \"assault rifle\" gets portrayed as the scourge of American society. But the FBI data simply doesn't support that claim. While even one murder is too many, the data shows that gun control advocates aren't proposing to save lives. It's something else entirely. Otherwise, enemy number one would be the handgun. That's what the data says.\r\n\r\nOr possibly they should turn their attention to knives. Criminals used knives to murder 1,515 victims in 2018. Meanwhile, blunt objects, listed as \"clubs, hammers, etc.\" took 443 lives. Stunningly, personal weapons, \"hands, fists, feet, etc.\" killed 672 lives in 2018.\r\n\r\nWe live in a data-driven, analytical age. From stocks to sports, to the news you read, analytics drives the decision making. Except when it comes to gun control. Because even though handguns, knives, clubs, hammers and even feet take more lives than rifles, it's the \"assault rifle\" that must be banned.\r\n\r\nIt's not about saving lives for gun control advocates. And it never has been.","post_title":"FBI Report: Crime in the US Shows Rifles Rarely Used to Murder","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/10\/16\/fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":128174,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2019-06-17 14:00:18","post_date_gmt":"2019-06-17 18:00:18","post_content":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fox4DFW\/videos\/307380073537941\/\n\nAn apparent lone gunman who allegedly fired on a Dallas Federal Building is dead.

            \n\n\u201cI seen the gentleman coming out from the back of McDonald\u2019s shooting at random. It sounded like he had an assault rifle.

He had an assault rifle. His face was kinda masked up. And when I seen that I was just in shock. I ran.\u201d\n\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/dallasnews\/status\/1140656385899814912\n\nAlan Wyatt said, \u201cI heard what appeared to be three gunshots and I was sitting having coffee, watching TV. I jumped up with my dog and cracked the window open from the fourth floor and I saw the gunman standing at the entrance to the courthouse and he was blowing the front entrance out.

            The FBI data shows 2019 as a great year, with property crime, burglary and violent crime among other categories falling compared to 2018. Sadly, 2020 will most assuredly prove differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Crime and civil unrest continue to rise. And we expect next year's FBI data to tell a much different tale \u2014 except on guns; we fully expect those stats to remain solid. <\/p>\n","post_title":"2019 FBI Crime Statistics Show Hammers, Clubs Again Outrank Rifle Murders","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-21 14:42:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-21 19:42:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/29\/2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11672,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-05-07 13:13:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-07 17:13:20","post_content":"The FBI conducted more than 2.9 million NICS checks during the month of April. The number represents nearly a 25-percent increase over April 2019. It also shows Americans continue to turn to firearms as part of their family safety plan during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n[in_content post=\"123402\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

            FBI NICS Checks Increase Again for April<\/h2>\nThe\u00a0FBI report<\/a>\u00a0shows 2,911,128 background checks conducted in April 2020. This surpasses the April 2019 number of 2,334,249. The report confirms trends first reported here a month ago<\/a>, as Americans of all walks of life chose to purchase firearms. So now, year-over-year data shows a 24.7-percent increase in April. And, not surprisingly, anti-gunners aren't too excited about the trend.\n\n\u201cThis continued surge in gun sales is bringing new risks into American homes that will linger long after the pandemic,\u201d said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety release<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe risks are particularly high for the millions of kids in homes with unsecured guns, women sheltering in place with abusers, and anyone who is struggling psychologically during this crisis. Policymakers have tools to address America\u2019s gun violence crisis, and they should use them.\u201d\n\nOf course, Watts continues to show a lack of understanding of reality. The anti-gun leader recently called all \"gun extremists misogynists<\/a>.\" Now, instead of understanding why Americans turn to gun ownership, she continues the trend to belittle people's ability to remain safe.\n\nBut safety is clearly on Americans' minds during the pandemic. Jurisdictions continue to release prisoners<\/a>. And now reports continue to flow in of prisoners immediately committing crimes in those communities. So it becomes even more clear. When times get tough, more Americans take safety into their own hands.\n\nWith stimulus checks<\/a> pouring in, along with communities continuing to experience irregularities and shutdowns, look for gun purchases to continue at record rates.","post_title":"FBI Reports 24.7 Percent Increase in NICS Checks for April Over 2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-nics-checks-april","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/05\/07\/fbi-nics-checks-april\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":92950,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-10-16 10:16:14","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-16 14:16:14","post_content":"The FBI recently released its annual report Crime in the United States<\/em><\/a>. For the second consecutive year, the estimated number of violent crimes in the country decreased. In 2018, violent crime fell 3.3 percent, while property crime dropped 6.3 percent. This marks the 16 consecutive year those estimates declined.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"119321\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

            FBI Crime Report on Guns<\/h4>\r\nThe violent crime rate fell 3.9 percent when compared with the rate in 2017. Meanwhile, property crime declined 6.9 percent in the same comparison.\r\n\r\nWhile crimes fell in most areas and categories, non-negligent manslaughter offenses fell 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, the estimated volume of aggravated assault offenses decreased by 0.4 percent.\r\n\r\nBut interestingly, for gun owners, how guns came to be used by murderers proves even more interesting. In 2018, 14,123 murders occurred, 10,265 which used a firearm. Of those 10,265 murders, 6,603 reportedly took place with a handgun. Meanwhile, only 297 murders utilized a rifle<\/a>. A shotgun was used 235 times to commit a murder.\r\n\r\nIn the national discourse on firearms currently taking place, the semi-auto \"assault rifle\" gets portrayed as the scourge of American society. But the FBI data simply doesn't support that claim. While even one murder is too many, the data shows that gun control advocates aren't proposing to save lives. It's something else entirely. Otherwise, enemy number one would be the handgun. That's what the data says.\r\n\r\nOr possibly they should turn their attention to knives. Criminals used knives to murder 1,515 victims in 2018. Meanwhile, blunt objects, listed as \"clubs, hammers, etc.\" took 443 lives. Stunningly, personal weapons, \"hands, fists, feet, etc.\" killed 672 lives in 2018.\r\n\r\nWe live in a data-driven, analytical age. From stocks to sports, to the news you read, analytics drives the decision making. Except when it comes to gun control. Because even though handguns, knives, clubs, hammers and even feet take more lives than rifles, it's the \"assault rifle\" that must be banned.\r\n\r\nIt's not about saving lives for gun control advocates. And it never has been.","post_title":"FBI Report: Crime in the US Shows Rifles Rarely Used to Murder","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/10\/16\/fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":128174,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2019-06-17 14:00:18","post_date_gmt":"2019-06-17 18:00:18","post_content":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fox4DFW\/videos\/307380073537941\/\n\nAn apparent lone gunman who allegedly fired on a Dallas Federal Building is dead.

            Interestingly, all the while, crime continues to fall. In some categories, numbers approach two decades of constant decline, as gun ownership swells across the country.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Recently released FBI crime statistics for 2019 shows violent crime decreasing for the third consecutive year. Violent crime dropped 0.5 percent compared to 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Property crime also dropped 4.1 percent over 2018. The figure marked the seventeenth consecutive year the collective estimates declined. The 2019 statistics further shows the estimated rate of violent crime occurred 366.7 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, property crime occurred 2,109.9 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The FBI data shows 2019 as a great year, with property crime, burglary and violent crime among other categories falling compared to 2018. Sadly, 2020 will most assuredly prove differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Crime and civil unrest continue to rise. And we expect next year's FBI data to tell a much different tale \u2014 except on guns; we fully expect those stats to remain solid. <\/p>\n","post_title":"2019 FBI Crime Statistics Show Hammers, Clubs Again Outrank Rifle Murders","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-21 14:42:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-21 19:42:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/29\/2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11672,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-05-07 13:13:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-07 17:13:20","post_content":"The FBI conducted more than 2.9 million NICS checks during the month of April. The number represents nearly a 25-percent increase over April 2019. It also shows Americans continue to turn to firearms as part of their family safety plan during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n[in_content post=\"123402\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

            FBI NICS Checks Increase Again for April<\/h2>\nThe\u00a0FBI report<\/a>\u00a0shows 2,911,128 background checks conducted in April 2020. This surpasses the April 2019 number of 2,334,249. The report confirms trends first reported here a month ago<\/a>, as Americans of all walks of life chose to purchase firearms. So now, year-over-year data shows a 24.7-percent increase in April. And, not surprisingly, anti-gunners aren't too excited about the trend.\n\n\u201cThis continued surge in gun sales is bringing new risks into American homes that will linger long after the pandemic,\u201d said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety release<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe risks are particularly high for the millions of kids in homes with unsecured guns, women sheltering in place with abusers, and anyone who is struggling psychologically during this crisis. Policymakers have tools to address America\u2019s gun violence crisis, and they should use them.\u201d\n\nOf course, Watts continues to show a lack of understanding of reality. The anti-gun leader recently called all \"gun extremists misogynists<\/a>.\" Now, instead of understanding why Americans turn to gun ownership, she continues the trend to belittle people's ability to remain safe.\n\nBut safety is clearly on Americans' minds during the pandemic. Jurisdictions continue to release prisoners<\/a>. And now reports continue to flow in of prisoners immediately committing crimes in those communities. So it becomes even more clear. When times get tough, more Americans take safety into their own hands.\n\nWith stimulus checks<\/a> pouring in, along with communities continuing to experience irregularities and shutdowns, look for gun purchases to continue at record rates.","post_title":"FBI Reports 24.7 Percent Increase in NICS Checks for April Over 2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-nics-checks-april","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/05\/07\/fbi-nics-checks-april\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":92950,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-10-16 10:16:14","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-16 14:16:14","post_content":"The FBI recently released its annual report Crime in the United States<\/em><\/a>. For the second consecutive year, the estimated number of violent crimes in the country decreased. In 2018, violent crime fell 3.3 percent, while property crime dropped 6.3 percent. This marks the 16 consecutive year those estimates declined.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"119321\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

            FBI Crime Report on Guns<\/h4>\r\nThe violent crime rate fell 3.9 percent when compared with the rate in 2017. Meanwhile, property crime declined 6.9 percent in the same comparison.\r\n\r\nWhile crimes fell in most areas and categories, non-negligent manslaughter offenses fell 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, the estimated volume of aggravated assault offenses decreased by 0.4 percent.\r\n\r\nBut interestingly, for gun owners, how guns came to be used by murderers proves even more interesting. In 2018, 14,123 murders occurred, 10,265 which used a firearm. Of those 10,265 murders, 6,603 reportedly took place with a handgun. Meanwhile, only 297 murders utilized a rifle<\/a>. A shotgun was used 235 times to commit a murder.\r\n\r\nIn the national discourse on firearms currently taking place, the semi-auto \"assault rifle\" gets portrayed as the scourge of American society. But the FBI data simply doesn't support that claim. While even one murder is too many, the data shows that gun control advocates aren't proposing to save lives. It's something else entirely. Otherwise, enemy number one would be the handgun. That's what the data says.\r\n\r\nOr possibly they should turn their attention to knives. Criminals used knives to murder 1,515 victims in 2018. Meanwhile, blunt objects, listed as \"clubs, hammers, etc.\" took 443 lives. Stunningly, personal weapons, \"hands, fists, feet, etc.\" killed 672 lives in 2018.\r\n\r\nWe live in a data-driven, analytical age. From stocks to sports, to the news you read, analytics drives the decision making. Except when it comes to gun control. Because even though handguns, knives, clubs, hammers and even feet take more lives than rifles, it's the \"assault rifle\" that must be banned.\r\n\r\nIt's not about saving lives for gun control advocates. And it never has been.","post_title":"FBI Report: Crime in the US Shows Rifles Rarely Used to Murder","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/10\/16\/fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":128174,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2019-06-17 14:00:18","post_date_gmt":"2019-06-17 18:00:18","post_content":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fox4DFW\/videos\/307380073537941\/\n\nAn apparent lone gunman who allegedly fired on a Dallas Federal Building is dead.

            So while the left wants to take our guns, the actual FBI data proves the dishonesty of the narrative. Fists, Feet, knives and clubs all pose a more imminent source of danger. Yet, black guns, specifically rifles with magazines of more than 10 rounds, face the mob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Interestingly, all the while, crime continues to fall. In some categories, numbers approach two decades of constant decline, as gun ownership swells across the country.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Recently released FBI crime statistics for 2019 shows violent crime decreasing for the third consecutive year. Violent crime dropped 0.5 percent compared to 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Property crime also dropped 4.1 percent over 2018. The figure marked the seventeenth consecutive year the collective estimates declined. The 2019 statistics further shows the estimated rate of violent crime occurred 366.7 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, property crime occurred 2,109.9 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The FBI data shows 2019 as a great year, with property crime, burglary and violent crime among other categories falling compared to 2018. Sadly, 2020 will most assuredly prove differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n

            Those numbers stand out when compared to other categories, ones not regulated or facing the mob of gun control zealots. Knives (cutting instruments), for example, counted for 1,476 murders in 2019. Blunt objects wracked up another 397. Personal weapons, clarified as hands, fists, feet, etc., accounted for 600 murders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            So while the left wants to take our guns, the actual FBI data proves the dishonesty of the narrative. Fists, Feet, knives and clubs all pose a more imminent source of danger. Yet, black guns, specifically rifles with magazines of more than 10 rounds, face the mob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Interestingly, all the while, crime continues to fall. In some categories, numbers approach two decades of constant decline, as gun ownership swells across the country.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Recently released FBI crime statistics for 2019 shows violent crime decreasing for the third consecutive year. Violent crime dropped 0.5 percent compared to 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Property crime also dropped 4.1 percent over 2018. The figure marked the seventeenth consecutive year the collective estimates declined. The 2019 statistics further shows the estimated rate of violent crime occurred 366.7 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, property crime occurred 2,109.9 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The FBI data shows 2019 as a great year, with property crime, burglary and violent crime among other categories falling compared to 2018. Sadly, 2020 will most assuredly prove differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Crime and civil unrest continue to rise. And we expect next year's FBI data to tell a much different tale \u2014 except on guns; we fully expect those stats to remain solid. <\/p>\n","post_title":"2019 FBI Crime Statistics Show Hammers, Clubs Again Outrank Rifle Murders","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-21 14:42:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-21 19:42:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/29\/2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11672,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-05-07 13:13:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-07 17:13:20","post_content":"The FBI conducted more than 2.9 million NICS checks during the month of April. The number represents nearly a 25-percent increase over April 2019. It also shows Americans continue to turn to firearms as part of their family safety plan during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n[in_content post=\"123402\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n

            FBI NICS Checks Increase Again for April<\/h2>\nThe\u00a0FBI report<\/a>\u00a0shows 2,911,128 background checks conducted in April 2020. This surpasses the April 2019 number of 2,334,249. The report confirms trends first reported here a month ago<\/a>, as Americans of all walks of life chose to purchase firearms. So now, year-over-year data shows a 24.7-percent increase in April. And, not surprisingly, anti-gunners aren't too excited about the trend.\n\n\u201cThis continued surge in gun sales is bringing new risks into American homes that will linger long after the pandemic,\u201d said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety release<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe risks are particularly high for the millions of kids in homes with unsecured guns, women sheltering in place with abusers, and anyone who is struggling psychologically during this crisis. Policymakers have tools to address America\u2019s gun violence crisis, and they should use them.\u201d\n\nOf course, Watts continues to show a lack of understanding of reality. The anti-gun leader recently called all \"gun extremists misogynists<\/a>.\" Now, instead of understanding why Americans turn to gun ownership, she continues the trend to belittle people's ability to remain safe.\n\nBut safety is clearly on Americans' minds during the pandemic. Jurisdictions continue to release prisoners<\/a>. And now reports continue to flow in of prisoners immediately committing crimes in those communities. So it becomes even more clear. When times get tough, more Americans take safety into their own hands.\n\nWith stimulus checks<\/a> pouring in, along with communities continuing to experience irregularities and shutdowns, look for gun purchases to continue at record rates.","post_title":"FBI Reports 24.7 Percent Increase in NICS Checks for April Over 2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-nics-checks-april","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/05\/07\/fbi-nics-checks-april\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":92950,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-10-16 10:16:14","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-16 14:16:14","post_content":"The FBI recently released its annual report Crime in the United States<\/em><\/a>.

This marks the 16 consecutive year those estimates declined.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"119321\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

            FBI Crime Report on Guns<\/h4>\r\nThe violent crime rate fell 3.9 percent when compared with the rate in 2017. Meanwhile, property crime declined 6.9 percent in the same comparison.\r\n\r\nWhile crimes fell in most areas and categories, non-negligent manslaughter offenses fell 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, the estimated volume of aggravated assault offenses decreased by 0.4 percent.\r\n\r\nBut interestingly, for gun owners, how guns came to be used by murderers proves even more interesting. In 2018, 14,123 murders occurred, 10,265 which used a firearm. Of those 10,265 murders, 6,603 reportedly took place with a handgun. Meanwhile, only 297 murders utilized a rifle<\/a>. A shotgun was used 235 times to commit a murder.\r\n\r\nIn the national discourse on firearms currently taking place, the semi-auto \"assault rifle\" gets portrayed as the scourge of American society. But the FBI data simply doesn't support that claim. While even one murder is too many, the data shows that gun control advocates aren't proposing to save lives. It's something else entirely. Otherwise, enemy number one would be the handgun. That's what the data says.\r\n\r\nOr possibly they should turn their attention to knives. Criminals used knives to murder 1,515 victims in 2018. Meanwhile, blunt objects, listed as \"clubs, hammers, etc.\" took 443 lives. Stunningly, personal weapons, \"hands, fists, feet, etc.\" killed 672 lives in 2018.\r\n\r\nWe live in a data-driven, analytical age. From stocks to sports, to the news you read, analytics drives the decision making. Except when it comes to gun control. Because even though handguns, knives, clubs, hammers and even feet take more lives than rifles, it's the \"assault rifle\" that must be banned.\r\n\r\nIt's not about saving lives for gun control advocates. And it never has been.","post_title":"FBI Report: Crime in the US Shows Rifles Rarely Used to Murder","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:35:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/10\/16\/fbi-crime-report-rifles-murder\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":128174,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2019-06-17 14:00:18","post_date_gmt":"2019-06-17 18:00:18","post_content":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fox4DFW\/videos\/307380073537941\/\n\nAn apparent lone gunman who allegedly fired on a Dallas Federal Building is dead.

            In all, 10,258 murders took place using a firearm in 2019<\/a>. Predictably, handguns led the way, accounting for 6,368 murders. But murderers used rifles only 364 times. Meanwhile, shotguns accounted for just 200 wrongful deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Those numbers stand out when compared to other categories, ones not regulated or facing the mob of gun control zealots. Knives (cutting instruments), for example, counted for 1,476 murders in 2019. Blunt objects wracked up another 397. Personal weapons, clarified as hands, fists, feet, etc., accounted for 600 murders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            So while the left wants to take our guns, the actual FBI data proves the dishonesty of the narrative. Fists, Feet, knives and clubs all pose a more imminent source of danger. Yet, black guns, specifically rifles with magazines of more than 10 rounds, face the mob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Interestingly, all the while, crime continues to fall. In some categories, numbers approach two decades of constant decline, as gun ownership swells across the country.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Recently released FBI crime statistics for 2019 shows violent crime decreasing for the third consecutive year. Violent crime dropped 0.5 percent compared to 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Property crime also dropped 4.1 percent over 2018. The figure marked the seventeenth consecutive year the collective estimates declined. The 2019 statistics further shows the estimated rate of violent crime occurred 366.7 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, property crime occurred 2,109.9 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The FBI data shows 2019 as a great year, with property crime, burglary and violent crime among other categories falling compared to 2018. Sadly, 2020 will most assuredly prove differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Crime and civil unrest continue to rise. And we expect next year's FBI data to tell a much different tale \u2014 except on guns; we fully expect those stats to remain solid. <\/p>\n","post_title":"2019 FBI Crime Statistics Show Hammers, Clubs Again Outrank Rifle Murders","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-21 14:42:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-21 19:42:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/29\/2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11672,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-05-07 13:13:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-07 17:13:20","post_content":"The FBI conducted more than 2.9 million NICS checks during the month of April.

            The 2019 FBI crime statistics just released via its annual report, \"Crime in the United States.\" And once again, without fail, it highlights the overwhelming hypocrisy of gun control<\/a>. Rifles of any sort\u2014let alone \"scary\" black rifles\u2014were responsible for less murders<\/a> than several other categories, including \"blunt objects\" like hammers and clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

            2019 FBI Crime Stastics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            In all, 10,258 murders took place using a firearm in 2019<\/a>. Predictably, handguns led the way, accounting for 6,368 murders. But murderers used rifles only 364 times. Meanwhile, shotguns accounted for just 200 wrongful deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Those numbers stand out when compared to other categories, ones not regulated or facing the mob of gun control zealots. Knives (cutting instruments), for example, counted for 1,476 murders in 2019. Blunt objects wracked up another 397. Personal weapons, clarified as hands, fists, feet, etc., accounted for 600 murders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            So while the left wants to take our guns, the actual FBI data proves the dishonesty of the narrative. Fists, Feet, knives and clubs all pose a more imminent source of danger. Yet, black guns, specifically rifles with magazines of more than 10 rounds, face the mob. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Interestingly, all the while, crime continues to fall. In some categories, numbers approach two decades of constant decline, as gun ownership swells across the country.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Recently released FBI crime statistics for 2019 shows violent crime decreasing for the third consecutive year. Violent crime dropped 0.5 percent compared to 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Property crime also dropped 4.1 percent over 2018. The figure marked the seventeenth consecutive year the collective estimates declined. The 2019 statistics further shows the estimated rate of violent crime occurred 366.7 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, property crime occurred 2,109.9 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The FBI data shows 2019 as a great year, with property crime, burglary and violent crime among other categories falling compared to 2018. Sadly, 2020 will most assuredly prove differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Crime and civil unrest continue to rise. And we expect next year's FBI data to tell a much different tale \u2014 except on guns; we fully expect those stats to remain solid. <\/p>\n","post_title":"2019 FBI Crime Statistics Show Hammers, Clubs Again Outrank Rifle Murders","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-21 14:42:36","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-21 19:42:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/09\/29\/2019-fbi-crime-statistics-rifles\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11672,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2020-05-07 13:13:20","post_date_gmt":"2020-05-07 17:13:20","post_content":"The FBI conducted more than 2.9 million NICS checks during the month of April.

            FBI NICS Checks Increase Again for April<\/h2>\nThe\u00a0FBI report<\/a>\u00a0shows 2,911,128 background checks conducted in April 2020. This surpasses the April 2019 number of 2,334,249. The report confirms trends first reported here a month ago<\/a>, as Americans of all walks of life chose to purchase firearms. So now, year-over-year data shows a 24.7-percent increase in April. And, not surprisingly, anti-gunners aren't too excited about the trend.\n\n\u201cThis continued surge in gun sales is bringing new risks into American homes that will linger long after the pandemic,\u201d said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety release<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe risks are particularly high for the millions of kids in homes with unsecured guns, women sheltering in place with abusers, and anyone who is struggling psychologically during this crisis. Policymakers have tools to address America\u2019s gun violence crisis, and they should use them.\u201d\n\nOf course, Watts continues to show a lack of understanding of reality. The anti-gun leader recently called all \"gun extremists misogynists<\/a>.\" Now, instead of understanding why Americans turn to gun ownership, she continues the trend to belittle people's ability to remain safe.\n\nBut safety is clearly on Americans' minds during the pandemic. Jurisdictions continue to release prisoners<\/a>. And now reports continue to flow in of prisoners immediately committing crimes in those communities. So it becomes even more clear. When times get tough, more Americans take safety into their own hands.\n\nWith stimulus checks<\/a> pouring in, along with communities continuing to experience irregularities and shutdowns, look for gun purchases to continue at record rates.","post_title":"FBI Reports 24.7 Percent Increase in NICS Checks for April Over 2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-nics-checks-april","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:33:55","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/05\/07\/fbi-nics-checks-april\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":92950,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-10-16 10:16:14","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-16 14:16:14","post_content":"The FBI recently released its annual report Crime in the United States<\/em><\/a>.

Meanwhile, the estimated volume of aggravated assault offenses decreased by 0.4 percent.\r\n\r\nBut interestingly, for gun owners, how guns came to be used by murderers proves even more interesting. In 2018, 14,123 murders occurred, 10,265 which used a firearm. Of those 10,265 murders, 6,603 reportedly took place with a handgun. Meanwhile, only 297 murders utilized a rifle<\/a>.

The result is a clean and consistent ignition.\r\n\r\nFor more information on Federal Premium, go to\u00a0FederalPremium.com<\/a>.","post_title":"Federal Premium Wins FBI 9mm Handgun Training Round Contract","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"federal-premium-fbi-9mm-handgun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:22:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:22:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/04\/30\/federal-premium-fbi-9mm-handgun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":132606,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2018-01-05 09:00:37","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-05 14:00:37","post_content":"\r\n\r\nThe Federal Bureau of Investigation<\/a> (FBI) has announced it is awarding Winchester<\/a> a $16 million contract<\/a> to be its primary source for 40 S&W ammunition<\/a>. The agreement calls for a bonded jacketed hollow point (JHP) service round in addition to full metal jacket (FMJ) and frangible training loads.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"186437\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n\r\nAccording to the press release, which was issued by Winchester, the\u00a0180 gr. bonded jacketed hollow point (JHP) cartridge picked by the FBI after extensive testing boasts patented tech that uses a reverse-jacketed, bonded bullet capable of penetrating a number of intermediate barriers while retaining consistent penetration and expansion.\r\n\r\nThe nickel-plated cartridge stops corrosion and guarantees smooth feeding and extraction, the company says. The cartridge uses flash suppressed powder to preserve an agent's night vision and meet the agency's tough \"darkened range evaluation.\"\r\n\r\nFor years now, Winchester has been supplying the FBI with its service and training ammunition. This contract looks to be the latest extension of that fruitful relationship.\r\n\r\n\"The FBI uses one of the most rigorous ammunition tests ever developed and we are very proud that Winchester has been identified as having the best product performance,\" Matt Campbell, Winchester's VP of sales and marketing, said in the press release.\r\n\r\nThe full contract is for $18 million. Winchester's part of the contract is worth $16 million, while Hornady will provide the remaining $2 million in .40 S&W ammo.\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"FBI Awards Winchester New Contract for 40 S&W Ammunition","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fbi-winchester-40-sw-ammunition-contract","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:23:41","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:23:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/01\/05\/fbi-winchester-40-sw-ammunition-contract\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};
