Now again I have shown that when you ban guns, murders go up. Any questions?
Yes. Why does the NRA use data from 1996 on Australia when the latest study from their same data source shows that firearms-related incidents went down dramatically from 1994 to 1999?

In 1994, there were 616 gun-related hospital incidents. In 1999, there were 473.

In 1994, 3.4 incidents per 100,000 citizens. In 1999, 2.5 incidents per 100,000.

Again, this is from the SAME SOURCE that the NRA uses for their australian story above.

See, when you supply evidence, then your points can be discussed and refuted.
