no, the biggest decline is in the years 1992 to 2000, as reported in both the articles SK posted and the one you posted....your article even has 5 (count 'em, FIVE) easy-view line graph charts showing that fact, that any 3rd grader could interpret correctly

Nope, the 2014 data is in., the biggest decline is the past few years. We had a 11% US drop in gun homicide the past two years.

both of of those articles end in 2012. And neither have gun murder per se. gun murder has declined even more -- especially recently

Can we also take a moment to talk about the dress the woman next to him is wearing. Looks like a mumu made from stiff, slightly shiny fabric. Oh honey.

It reminds me a lot of the outfits Roseanne's character was wearing in She Devil before she becomes all badass .

And just like that, the causal relationship is removed, the flat-lining of the trend after the first six years (1992 to 1998) is ignored. The very cause of the trend is ignored.

Why? Oh that's right, the gun fondling narrative makes no sense.

And yet despite falling, the gun death rate in the US is still higher than in any other developed country in the world. So - not so good after all …
