here, I'll make it simpler for you: the number of guns in america has increased steadily, with no decrease in the number of guns in any one year, over time.
the crime rate has had periods of increasing rates of crime and decreasing rates of crime over time.
therefore over time there is not direct correlation between the number of guns and the level of crime. the two are independent of each other.
nice try tho.

Perfect. I can live with that. But, I can't live with your earlier statements that increased guns equaled increased crime rates or murder rates or even accidental gun deaths.
So, we can agree that guns have not made crime rates, murder rates, or accidental gun deaths worse.
