if you were to plot a line of best fit through this graph it'd be almost horizontal...

it shows that in the last couple years gun ownership has been increasing and continues to increase...

hopefully if the upwards trend continues we can get back up to 50

 

what i'm not seeing here though is an indication of crime increasing with the implementation of gun control laws as we see in the uk

 

btw i didn't deny that violent crime is decreasing

I already posted links to 4+ polls that show a decreasing trendline and will provide no further data or entertain any further unqualified disputations.

You posted the "US doesn't have a gun problem" propaganda, and, again, any other reader will see right through this deflection.

i take offense to this

Then it would be wise for you to not publicly post, "i'm flattered," in response to "you embody everything that is wrong with the views of a human being in my opinion" or "lol don't make me laugh," in response to the same person subsequently saying, "I'm not gonna try to talk sense into you."

The behavior is clearly antagonist, a celebration thereof, and definitely against community guidelines.

"I already posted links to 4+ polls that show a decreasing trendline"

ok... lets take the period from 1983 to 1994 (11 years)... gun edit ownership steadily increased to its highest percentage overall and yet violent crime decreased continuously simultaneously... 

this pretty much destroys your argument wouldn't you agree? 

 

"You posted the "US doesn't have a gun problem" propaganda"

my argument was that gun control has not reduced violent crime in the uk and that violent crime has been on a steady increase since gun control laws were put in place... the point is that ultimately its apparent that gun control has not made the uk safer and therefore,its kind of dishonest to assert that the us which has a similar culture will experience a decrease in violent crime if the same measures are taken

 

"Then it would be wise for you to not publicly post, "i'm flattered," in response to "you embody everything that is wrong with the views of a human being in my opinion" "

why not? i don't understand your problem with my response


" "lol don't make me laugh," in response to the same person subsequently saying, "I'm not gonna try to talk sense into you.""

and why not?

 

"The behavior is clearly antagonist"

lmao so let me get this straight he insults me and i respond kindly and i'm the antagonist?

what about you choosing to call me a robot instead of addressing my points initially?

april fools ended like 3 days ago man, time to update your callender
