   Hi Steven,

   I’m curious what program you use to make these nice little graphs?

   Misleading. By not starting at a baseline of zero you make it look several times more dramatic than it is, and I understand that a fall in crime over this time frame from a peak at the end of large century has occurred generally and is large enough to account for this (ie through increased rates of incarceration.) Until we compare much more data sets, this is comepletely meaningless from the point of view of proving anything about controlling gun use. Also, many people might think differently about this gain, if they discovered that assualt weapons were almost exclusively used to kill gangsters by gangsters.
