Reply #13: "Simple" does not equal "correct"

[Euromutt]

As has been pointed out ad nauseam in this forum, over the past twenty years, we've seen violent crime rates, including homicide, drop to half their previous levels, even as the stock of privately owned firearms and the number of CCW permits has steadily increased.

Tempting as it may be to resort to assertions based on "it stands to reason," when the evidence doesn't support that assertion, anyone possessed of critical thinking ability will understand that the assertion was incorrect.
