Don't let the facts get in front of your witch hunt. |
You quoted the overall murder rates. Perhaps quote the ones specifically using firearms to be accurate. There could be cities where stabbings, strangulations or beatings are experiencing statistical spikes. We'll not mention glossing over factors such as economic depressions, overall crime rates or any other social factors such as education and literacy rates; its obviously all caused by guns.
Witch hunt, indeed
