This is a defining characteristic of an uncorrelated variable. I think there is a much better correlation than what you list between societies with high gun ownership and gun violence.

It is a somewhat more cranial representation, but you are basically arguing that guns don't kill people, people do ...and it is time for folks to get over the word games and take action Guns kill people Guns with large magazines kill more people faster Don't care how seldom it happens, the assault weapons have no redeeming quality in the citizenry at large because they cannot be kept from sociopaths and mass murderers Ergo, stop allowing them to be sold
