Estimating the Number of DGUs

[Glassunion]

68. You are not helping your point.

You make the statement that you are thoroughly convinced by mere suggestions and not scientific study.

Then you follow that up with a straw man argument.

"the exaggerated claims of how many DGUs there are each year are based on the calculation that 95% of them are the brandishing kind which require no report of any kind." - This is a misrepresentation of the point of view that disagrees with you. I'd ask for evidence of who is making the argument, however I doubt you would be able to find anywhere this argument is being made.

"In this, all of a sudden, you guys don't require proof or statistics or evidence. You're happy with the guess or the projection or the assumption" - Again, this claim cannot be substantiated by you, because the argument that you are claiming that we are making never happened. So your point is completely moot.

So this does not make us a bunch of hypocrites, because what you claim is our argument, is indeed not an argument anyone is making at all.
