    I guess you were unable to read the second citation.

    I just proved you either are unable to understand numbers or that you lied

    you claimed that the number of gun related homicides were much higher last year than in 1995. that's a lie unless you are trying to claim that the number in 1995 is being compared to ALL gun related homicides from 1996 to the present-which is a worthless comparison

    TBH, if a militia were to be called up in this country, and God forbid it ever need be! At this point I'd be just as concerned with the people behind me as the enemy in front of me..

    what did Patton say-He'd rather have the German Army in front of him versus the French army behind him

    Anti-gun Con Law professors have finally admitted the Inconvenient Truth.

    "Laurence H. Tribe, a law professor at Harvard, said he had come to believe that the Second Amendment protected an individual right.

    “My conclusion came as something of a surprise to me, and an unwelcome surprise,” Professor Tribe said. “I have always supported as a matter of policy very comprehensive gun control.”"
    THE NEW YORK TIMES, A Liberal Case for Gun Rights Sways Judiciary, By Adam Lipton, 5/6/2007. (emphasis mine)
    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/u...hp=&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&

    Ordinary "liberals" with the best of intentions, are usually the last to figure these things out.

    Right,except you didn't provide current data (I did) and you didn't provide 1995 data (I did) so, sure, you did only in your mind.

    Well, gun ownership is going up. Violent crimes are going down.

    Now, you tell us...is that a good thing?

    There one hundred MILLION more people in The United States than there were in 1995. Of course there will be more homicides. It's simple deductive reasoning: more people= more crimes, especially when so many of that one hundred million are illegal aliens from Third World countries. As we get more Third World people, we will see an increase in Third World problems, like high murder rates.

    Yes, it is
    Now prove that gun ownership has anything to do with it.

    Putting your Xenophobia aside the number per 100,000 is the same or more.

    It's more, because we have MORE Third Worlders who come from violent Third World countries and brought that culture with them.

    If you let enough Third Worlders into The United States, it's only a matter of time before The United States has the same crime rate as a Third World country.

    I didn't say it did.

    My point is, gun ownership has nothing to do with an increase in homicides.

    If it did, the homicide rate would go up and down with the gun ownership rate.

    There's that Xenophobia again.
    I take it your using our own history to prove you sad point. In the real world, guns are the reason.

    more errors, I most certainly did present 1995 statistics of gunshot homicides so you are not telling the truth and worse, you were unable to read the articles I cited or understand the numbers contained in them. In 1995 there was far more gunshot deaths than in 2021. You lose again
