Perhaps the apparently liberal headline writer for this article should try this on for size:

“Gun crime continues to decrease, possibly due to increase in gun sales”

While correlation is not causation, statistically, both the author and the Brady folks seemed to be tying themselves in knots to avoid drawing any correlation at all between the increase in gun sales and the decrease in crimes, didn't they?

If the "lax gun laws" in places surrounding Chicago and DC account for the numbers of gun crimes in those places, why aren't the numbers of crimes the same in the places surrounding Chicago and DC as they are in those cities? Do thugs just prefer living in cities, or what?
