@mods can you erase the posts that are invisible?

Like I said before, this is just a forum and not a science lab. The facts are this, The brady act was passed in 1994 and since then gun crime has been dropping rapidly.

Please don't hassle me with the correlation vs causality. I don't have access to the all the numbers, but across the board, more gun control = less crime (up to a point). This is using every country as a sample.

Furthermore, you are asking for something that cannot be done, because it is ethically reprehensible to change laws to test a theory, especially one that potentially deals with murder rates. Even if such test have been conducted, you can be sure that they are secret government tests. Unfortunately, the best we can do is look at the correlations.
