You're ignoring the biggest difference between the two eras: violent crime actually was through the roof in the 1980s, while it's near 50-year lows today. The rhetoric has no matchup with people's lived experiences now when violent crime of that sort is super rare vs when it was very relevant then.



You were literally twice as likely to get murdered 30 years ago as you are now. That's a gigantic dropoff.
