Clearly the "assault weapons" legislation had no impact because the trend was downward before, during and after it was implemented and went away. Why?
Perhaps if we knew more about the 'why' we would have a more focused and accurate, 'how' to deal with violent crime.
Personally, I vote for more Wolfenstein and Doom!.

I do not see how guns are involved at all with this data. I see no evidence presented within the data to support claims that changes to gun laws/regulations or lack there of have effected the crime rates.
What if the police force in those cities sampled for this data expanded ? What if there were simply less criminally inclined people? What if they were too busy or too fat to commit these crimes?
