We have your comment which dishonestly claims that link was related to the claim about crime rates — when it clearly wasn’t.
The distinction is meaningful because gun restrictions tend to target rifles, when they’re hardly used in crimes.

- zmgsabst 4y agoI accept your apology for making a bad assumption that ignored the actual text of my post and which assumed bad faith on my part, since that link supported the nearby text which described data from that report.
- seoaeu 4y agoNo, I assumed you were engaging in good faith when you mentioned rifles. Instead you were responding to strawman argument no one made about how banning rifles (but not pistols) wouldn’t work.
