Gun crime is down, consistently declining for over the past quarter century. Surely this is progress?

If that is the position I want them to state "This is progress, crime is down, no need to act" every time it is brought up. 

Then come election people have the choice of being content or asking for change from their representative.

Fair point. I certainly won't argue that politicians don't exploit these events for their own gain, one way or another.
