Justifiable Homicides Spike

In Albuquerque, NM, criminals are increasingly being shot to death by their intended victims. From ZERO in 2011 to EIGHT in 2015. It's like I predicted. Shootings WOULD go up for a while, while armed citizens “killed off” the ILLEGALLY-armed criminals. Criminals there are learning, to their consternation, that violent crime is a good way to “get dead” in a hurry. Six of the eight justifiable killings happened during attempted burglaries. One involved a gunfight involving two former CNN employees and another shooter. at a hotel.“ There are now more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens than ever before. It is hardly a surprise that as more good people have firearms and good firearms training, that armed bad guys who are often under the influence of drugs and who have no firearms training are over-matched and defeated when they target a gun owner.” (Bearing Arms)
