Bob McCarty Writes

Be sure to LISTEN LIVE to Baltimore’s WBAL-AM Wednesday, 9 a.m. to Noon Central, as I will be a guest on The Shari Elliker Show to discuss my post, Stats Reveal Truth: Guns Don’t Cause Crime, and other topics. UPDATE: Segment starts at 10:45 am Eastern / 9:45 am Central. UPDATE #2:  Segment just got pushed back to 11:15 a.m. Eastern / 10:15 a.m. Central.

In that post, published Dec. 22, I discussed FBI data released earlier this month that shows murders dropped by 10 percent from the same period in 2008. Meanwhile, according to data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System shows that during the first six months of this year, gun sales were up.
