Uptated Info On Guns & Violent Crimes In USA

With the ongoing debate about the place of armed citizens in the USA all should be educated as to the most recent facts about that issue.

First, I admit that "Coincidence is not causation". But, it should be noted-and-understood that:

1. The rate of violent crimes in the USA has been decreasing; 

2. That at the same time as the number of persons licensed to carry concealed weapons has been increasing; And,

3. That at the same time when the number of States which do not require licenses/permits to carry concealed weapons has been increasing.

The meaning of the revocation of those licences/permits is much more difficult to evaluate as:

4. Some are revoked for only changes of address (eg Moving to another state);

5. There is no sure, nation wide data, as to the number of such revoked for involvement in such causes as criminal misuse of weapons or other crimes or other reasons; And,

6. It appears that only two States have revocation rates higher than 0.5%.

The data I could not locate is some (Clear and lucid), by race [Asian, Black, 

First Peoples (aka "Native Americans"), Whites, Other], data for convictions,

as should be known to all Americans, for:

7. Violent crimes with weapons; And,

8. All violent crimes.

I am still confused at the Jihad being waged against "Assault Rifles" as those 

(In combination with ALL other rifles) are use to commit murders less

than knives or "blunt objects" (Combined?).
