(12,751 posts)discussion board, pointing out their arrival on the scene to peddle such bilge is not "carping": it's noticing. Funny how you Gungeoneers can never seem to fight your own fights, but always need a whole lot of company to back you up. Very telling of how weak your case for moar, moar guns!!!11 really is.
In any event, the replier above's posting of some random FBI survey on crime "proves" nothing: one could just as easily argue that higher incarceration rates, better policing tactics, and the like are much more responsible for the decrease in the overall crime rate, and that, in fact, with better gun control laws and policy those rates would be even lower - much lower.
In fact, that's precisely what most reputable statitician and criminologists do argue, and quite persuasively. You need to quit getting your "facts" from American Rifleman magazine and start looking to reputable sources. Pro-tip.
