Could it be that crime in the US is going down?

Yes - it was Roe v Wade that cauased the reduction in crime rates and almost entirely accounts for it - see Freakonomics..

I've changed my mind on gun control as well. I no longer think they should be outlawed in the US. I now think that law abiding citizens should have access to firearms for personal protection.

However, I think you should need a permit and that the weapons should be registered. I think it's a tad odd that the government is allowed to know what books you borrow but not what guns you own.
