Referring to DC charts you are trying to tell me that the effect of handguns being banned didnt start affecting the statistics for 10 years? Do you have a functioning brain?

No, I'm telling you that gun bans don't reduce crime as is shown in the data. Thank you for making my point.

Referring to the UK charts..... again it doesnt show the RATES. From 1991 to 2001 the population increased by 1.1million. From 2001-2004 the UK population increased by another 1million. That easily explains the # differences. Again you need rates not raw numbers

So you wouldn't expect to see a significant / marked decrease in violent crimes if guns were indeed the problem?
Also, of course I used a localized statistic. If I wanted to show a trend of the entire US, I would use data representative of the entire US. If I wanted to show the effect that a local gun ban in D.C. had, should I use 1) D.C. data or 2) All US data? If you can't figure that out that you are even stupider than your posts make you seem.
One more. If I wanted to see the impact of a gun ban in Britain, would I use 1) official government crime statistics for the region in question (i.e. Britain), or 2) worldwide violent crime statistics.
Thank you for playing.
