So a higher homicide rate is a victory for gun control activists?

What does the higher rate have to do with the gun control activists? Are you saying gun control, while decreasing the number of firearm homicides, is increasing the number of stabbing deaths?
Others have brought up the same point, yet no one has answered. How have we gotten to the conclusion that gun control increases gun related crimes? Just because crime goes up a few percentage points isn't reason enough to conclude that it is solely because of gun control. How can people make such a simple conclusion?
