Pandemic gun violence surge was not linked to rise in gun sales, study finds

10. I'm passing on things I read in a number of different reliable sources. Real information is hard to

find because, well, guns. It's very difficult to get hard numbers on almost any gun data.

In any event graphs of gun inventory, gun sales and homicides will mirror each other in amazing similarity.

While causality is difficult to show, correlation is simple to see. More of any given object in a closed system will necessarily result in more consequences of that thing's presence. For instance more cars on a freeway will necessarily result in more vehicular interaction. No one accident can be attributed to the increase however there will be more accidents.

We may be talking about differences without distinctions.
