The catch-all gun thread

[Darth]

You're the one who granted assuming it:

But I must ask, let's assume it is significant and a real increase...

Yet when I do so, I get this:

You can assume all you like, but you haven't actually shown that it is relevant or significant. If you generate a random walk, you could take any given part of that segment and see directionality, even if none actually exists. If your claim is that there is an increase, prove it.

Seems like shenanigans to me.

We don't have the variance so I'm not sure how you would calculate it, but you're the one who first stated it would be easy to calculate, I called you one it first, so no you do it.

To the same degree you were trying to say that the lower homicide rate (but increased assault rate) was a result of the gun laws sure, something about having your cake...

I would not mind living in a society where violent crime resulted in injury instead of death. Especially if we could curb the mass shootings.
