"Violent crime has decreased since the weapon ban expired. What can be more telling than that?" Sorry to say, but correlation is not causation. This kind of logic will get us into trouble when the next mass shooting occurs.

Aruging that correlation is not causation, while true, never won us any points with the logic-impaired gun-grabbers. We have to play to win, here, not by Marqis-of-Queensbury rules.

I understand the article to rebut the claims by the anti-gun crowd that crime would go up when the ban expired.
