lando read that article yourself for christ sake.
notice how once it has to explain the increased impact on trend it switches back to 'intentional gun deaths' so that it can include suicide in the number? even the article admits that the buyback's effect was more pronounced on suicide.
because you need to include suicide to demonstrate a significant impact.
but is that really what you're here arguing? That we need gun control to lower suicide via gun (but not overall suicide?)???????????
youre literally parroting the distortions that mael's first youtube video points out about the Vox video.
Stick to ONE statistic. I am talking about overall homicides. If you have to have three different statistics (overall homicides, gun homicides, intentional gun deaths, etc) so that you can cherry pick which one to use based on what helps your argument, then you're doing it wrong.
