"number of hate crime incidents involving the use or threatened use of a firearm". Guns and threats. Somehow you deflect to ignorance as if that's an explanation. I ask if there were any other corollaries. Your response was to run off down the NRA/ILA rat-hole of correlation not being relevant if causation can't be established.

Correlation is absolutely relevant. More guns = more violence. More cars on a freeway, more car crashes. More swimming pools more drownings.

On another note; when you first started replying in my threads I said I recognized your literary style, that I thought I knew you in a former incarnation, one no longer able to post here. There has only been one person to say to me "you do you" in the almost 20 years I've been here. That isn't an oft used phrase. Just a coincidence I suppose . . .
