cherry picking the data

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on May 16, 2012 - 8:58am.

The CDC summary says that firearms deaths have increased a lot in 33 years. But they do not take note of the fact that a similar increase has taken place in Great Britain, even though "over there" gun laws have become so increasingly strict there is today a total ban on private firearms. Yet firearms deaths are twice as high (per capita) than they were in the '60s. Obviously, gun control isn't really a factor. We need to move past spurious gun debates and try to find out WHY violence is on the rise in Western civilization. But guns aren't the source of the problem.
