82. The graph you posted shows a gun homicide rate stagnant since 1998.

Not "steadily declining for several decades" as you claimed. And no, the number/rate has not decreased since 2010, where your graph stops.

You and the NRA continue to selectively choose data from the height of the crack epidemic to show how much gun crime has fallen. In fact, the rate of gun crime and gun homicides have remained steady and have not decreased since 1998. NEWSFLASH: That was TWO DECADES AGO.
