9. You may not think there is correlation but anti gun groups do think there is
So you are saying that murder rate has nothing to do with gun possession rate and the attempts to disarm civilians around the world or in other words "small arms proliferation" is futile? Most people think gun ownership rate is connected to rate of violence.

There is nothing wrong with this study. It is very simple. Order nations by rate of murder and compare the most violent half vs the least violent half based on gun possession rate. If you conclude there is no correlation that's fine.
