And here's one from notoriously anti-gun WaPo https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/02/14/most-americans-incorrectly-think-gun-homicides-have-gotten-worse-not-better/%3foutputType=amp

Homicides are down. Great.
But Massacres are up. Not so great.

That fact also says literally nothing about what impact gun control laws could have. The only thing it does is dismantle his own assertion that there is a link between increasing firearms in the US (which I have demonstrated is not exactly accurate in previous posts) and decreasing crime rates. Overall, trying to address gun control in this manner is far too general and unspecific to contribute anything to the conversation.
