Not so much the use of statistics to show that guns are the only factor, but the use of statistics to show that somehow, gun ownership is proportionally related to crime rates is, in and of itself, a fallacy.

If one thinks about it, some European countries may boast lower crime rates--probably true. But then, their population may also be much more homogeneous, right?
