And while I'm Bitterly Clinging to my Religion, I might as well complete the stereotype--well, as much as is possible, at any rate.
Preliminary statistics released by the FBI for the first half of 2009 show that violent crime continues a downward trend that began in 2006. The figures show crime falling in all categories--robbery, aggravated assault, motor vehicle thefts, etc.--with murders down a remarkable 10 percent from the previous year.
This occured "oddly enough," at the same while people have been stocking up on guns and ammunition for fear that the Obama Administration might crack down on gun ownership nationally.
More guns, less crime. Hmmmm.
So does this mean that violent felons are smarter than gun-ban activists?

Much like "Crime is going down *in spite of* increased incarceration."

From what I've been able to determine, a lump of feldspar is smarter than your average gun-ban activist.
