Is a 25 year decline in murder and armed-robbery before the ban also mis-leading?

But that dosent mean anything unless the buyback (it wasnt a ban) significantly changed the figures, which it did, the overall firearms related crimes decreased.
If Texas has a population of 100 million and 10 gun deaths the next year it has a population of 200 million people and 15 gun deaths, there has been an increase of 50% in the amount of deaths, the homicide by firearms rate has actually gone down because ofthe population difference that ha to be taken into account.
