The graph on page 6 generally shows a positive correlation between lower gun ownership rates and lower crime rates. America has the higest violent crime rate and highest gun ownership rate, and the only outlier here, for whatever reason, is Scotland. Everything else mirrors

At best, all it does is prove that there isn't a positive correlation between violent crime and gun ownership


Do you know how to read a graph? (It's on Page 1 btw, not page 6. Page 6 is only about Australia)

The blue line is the gun ownership per household. At the right, you know that part where gun ownership is LOWEST, it has a staggering amount of homicide per capita. 

The crime rate is low at the left where countries have more guns. Or at least at the level of the blue line. At the right, it's WAY above the line.
