FBI: OFFICERS KILLED WITH FIREARMS DECREASED 40 PERCENT AS GUN SALES SOARED IN 2013

On November 24 the FBI released stats showing the number of officers killed in the line of duty during 2013 decreased by approximately 40 percent at a time when private gun sales were breaking records.

According to the FBI, 26 officers were "feloniously killed" with firearms in 2013. This figure is down from the 44 "feloniously killed" with firearms in 2012, and far below the 63 officers killed with firearms in 2011.

The number of officers "feloniously killed" with firearms has fallen as the number of annual private gun sales has risen.

One just has to ask if any of those weapons sold in this flurry of sales was in the hands of someone who shot a cop. Chances are that the answer is no, unless the weapon was stolen from the owner.

Guess what? Crime in general is down in these areas as well, and people are taking care of their own problems first, so it's safe for the police to show up.

This only means something to those of us w/o an agenda. To those that want to repeal the 2nd Amendment and outlaw guns it will mean nothing.
Conditioned minds view contrary or unsupportive facts as to not exist at all. "Conditioned Mind Disease" is what I'll call it. And, it's ubiquitous among many segments of our society, including Science & History.
