You have a study, of doubtful data and questionable methodology, but those arguing for gun control have two entire nations where stiff gun control has reduced gun deaths significantly.
I cant blame you for taking your toys and going home. You've failed to make your case, and it's based only on one study that is very susceptible to critique.
You should probably use more data and less emotion in constructing your personal views. Your lack of objectivity is very evident.
In Australia, gun deaths have indeed been decreasing over time. Maybe it has something to do with gun control, maybe not, it is hard to tell. However, in the UK, gun deaths are actually higher now than they were 100 years ago. So arguing that gun control in the UK has reduced gun deaths is... I don't even know which word to use.
Let me see if I’ve got this sussed:
When gun death rates decline, gun control may or may not be the reason. However, an increase in guns deaths is easily attributed to gun control.
Is it at all possible that there are other factors in play?
