they don't seem correlated to the gun bans as strongly as you insist.

Two points that I would represent from the graphs, as I mentioned to Alarti. 1) Gun restrictions or prohibitions
do not result in less violent crime. 2) The conversation
is around the correlation vs. causation of the increase in crime that may or may not be caused by gun restrictions.
While the gun control may or may not have led to an increase in violent crime, to posit that gun control has a marked reduction in crime is just incorrect/irresponsible and in no way can be verified with data. A blanket statement that taking away guns is a good way to reduce crime is a fallacy being used by the left. Looking at the actual data can lead to a reasonable discussion.
