Okay, show me how more guns lowers the murder rate....

You certainly can't use Australia to show it cut the murder rate. They
don't shoot as many people but the government's own numbers showed the
decline in murder was a straight line through the destruction of
millions of guns. There wasn't even a blip.

Our murder rate is declining on a similar slope and we have a lot more
guns every year.

I'll ask one more time, show me how more guns equates to a lower murder
rate. Let's take your average city. One would think that according to
you, a ghetto where just about every teen and adult has guns that the
murder rate would be lower there than in a middle class neighborhood
where every kid and adult doesn't have a gun, right?

Who said more guns? That is a straw man you set up. I am just saying
and demonstrating with Australia's actual statistics, taking away guns
has a minimal effect on the overall murder rate.

Go back to the beginning of the thread, that's where you'll find your
answer.
