I had to look at the stats again because it was hard for me to believe you could be this dense. I actually was convinced I misread those stats somehow. After review, I have not. What I think is the problem is you seem to think that raw numbers somehow equate to rates. They do not. England has been on a steady decline in violent crime rates for over a decade. This is of course based on population. As the population of the country increases so might the violent crime but not necessarily the violent crime rate (violent crime per person).
Sorry you were so confused, if you need further instruction let me know.(I expect you will).

Atari, your too smart for me. Your ability to read raw data and 'apply' them 'correctly' is astonishing. You could at least bring the argument to the level of causation vs. correlation since the data clearly depicts an increase in violent crime after a gun ban was enabled. By the way, did you happen to look up data from before and after the gun ban went into effect or are you talking about a 3 year reduction in overall crime that has nothing to do with a gun ban that was implemented in the 90s?
