No, I'm willing to accept there may be no correlation there.Then perhaps you'd like to show data that support the claim of increased gun ownership increase gun crime.Once again, you and your source resort to fallacious reasoning
Fallacy: Questionable Cause
Unless they show specific proof that rising gun sales themselves and not other factors reduced crime this claim is unsupported.
Perhaps you'd like to back your claims up properly and definitively prove that higher sales equate with lower crimes when all other things are ruled out. You made the claim now prove it.
Now how about you back up the opposing charge, that increased gun ownership has caused an increase in gun crime?
