What the fuck are you talking about? You just proved the graphs point trying to disprove it.
"the handgun ban laws in DC increased the amount of guns imported from neighboring states by criminals to use in the criminal activities"

You either didn't read or didn't comprehend what he posted, moron.
He wasn't making a statement on the efficacy of gun laws, only that the graph is dishonest.
The graph implies the spike in murders correlates meaningfully with the gun law. It doesn't. There was a massive, nationwide spike in violence and crime in general in the 80's/early 90's which tapered off for a variety of reasons including, in this situation, gentrification.
