a disproportionately large number of people died from homicide.

That's correct, Quark, and I wanna add, that homicide does not equal death by firearm. They appear to be counting all homicides, which statistically alters the evidence of "relationship" they're trying to establish.

It goes back to what I was taught in school over 50 years ago.

Statistics is the art of how to lie with figures and how to make figures lie, the graph being the biggest deception tool of all.
