I'm not sure if I should respond.
On slides 5 and 6 you can see some of the trends in the data. Now, the purpose for plotting some of the legislation in slide 6 is not to imply a causal link, because there are many factors that can impact these kinds of trends. But what it does allow you to do is situate the trends around the timing of legislation.
As we said, in terms of firearms, if you look at slide 5—and this may help you with your question—we have seen that if we go back to the mid-1970s, there was a general decrease in the rate of firearm homicides, for example. But in more recent years, we have seen increases, with 2005 as the third straight year for increases in firearm homicides.
