The OP indicates that more guns equates to more crime.

Your first reply was with FBI statistics and "So I don't see the 'more guns = more crime' assertion . . ."

Hoyt pointed out that there could be many mitigating reasons for lowering crime rates, that crime could be much lower than it is with fewer guns and you reply that FBI stats prove that more guns does not mean more crime ignoring the other factors that might account for falling crime rates.

I weigh in with another study that includes other countries and has statistics that parallel the conclusions of the OP study.

You claim that my post has nothing to do with Donohue being wrong. Huh? Multiple studies, different sources, same conclusions. But you can't, or won't, see that. This is the sort of willful refusal to admit that guns increase death rates that permeates the Gungeon.

You have that in common with all the gun nuts that I have on ignore.
