I was thinking the same thing, since I was both alive in the 90s, and have read several books that talk talk about all the various theories on why crime declined so much in the 90s. Then I went to look and it seems since 2016 we’ve been on a meteoric rise and have surpassed the 90s numbers, at least when it comes to gun violence. It’s going up faster than it dropped.
I hear guns existed back in the Before Times too.
Yeah, but people are a lot more shooty now.
If you think that’s true, I feel like you didn’t live through the same 90s I did lol

Rose tinted glasses, my dude. It also depends on the location. Most places I’ve lived have gotten A LOT safer in the past 3 decades.
Shootings still happen, though.
