In reply to the discussion: Man Taking Selfies With Gun Fatally Shoots Himself [View all]tabasco
(22,974 posts)86. You got caught lying and now you're obfuscating. Typical.
As I have provided multiple sources and explained, the high rates of the early 90s were anomalous due to the crack cocaine epidemic. Of course, the peak year is the selective factor always chirped by NRA parrots. The fact is that the U.S. gun crime rate has not decreased in two decades, gun deaths are increasing, and all the NRA chirping about "1993" doesn't change that fact. You seem to lack the moral courage to accept the truth, so I'm done wasting my time with you.

Nope. Same stats. Same numbers. Just a lot of intentional misinterpretation, distortion and lying.

Just like you shouldn't answer the telephone while ironing clothes with a hot iron.
