Yeah, I do recall what you wrote and your assumption maybe correct. Damned if I can figure out what they want.

Assuming you are right, I had hoped you might provide the supporting data they have accumulated to bolster their argument. All I could find is that murders have dropped and violence has dropped.

I'm betting somebody somewhere has the data but isn't playing show-and-tell. If it's the gun lobby then we could assume they are hiding gun violence. If it's the gun control lobby then they are hiding a lack of supporting evidence for gun violence.

All I could find was FBI stats, which clearly show a downward trend in violence in almost every category. It would be really interesting to know what would cause all violent crimes to decrease but violent gun crimes to increase.

Do you think I am sauced?
