Speaking of leftist agendas, bad news for the gun-control commissars.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, gun deaths dropped 21%
between 1993 and 1997 to the lowest level in more than 30 years.
Firearm-related injuries fell 41%. The total number of fatalities
dropped to 32,436 in 1997 (more than half of them suicides). The
falling gun death rate correlates with the falling rate of violent
crime.
