     In all catagories, too, except for GUN crime. 

     As you pointed out, gun ownership is up, and as 
  a Justice Department report dated Feb 27 of this year
  noted "Violent crime has decreased over the last 
  decade, but criminals are increasingly likely to be 
  armed with guns. Offenses committed with pistols and
  revolvers rose from 9.2% in 1979 to 12.7% in 1992,
  according to the National Crime Victimization Survey."

     More guns, more gun crimes.

     Duh.
