These are just statistical correlations but pro-gun control advocates tend to get them wrong all the time. Furthermore, correlation does not imply causation, so even if gun murders went down, this would not mean gun control is responsible for it although, gun murders did not go down so it's a moot point anyways. Just my 2 cents.
Why would you compare murders (stabbed to death) to gun ownership rates? It makes more sense to compare murders by guns.
