"Cherry-Picking" Numbers

Have you ever wondered how anti-gun fools come up with their fiction that gun crime goes down where anti-gun laws are the tightest, when just the OPPOSITE is true in most places? “The grand dogma of the gun controllers is that places with severe restrictions on the ownership of firearms have lower rates of murder and other gun crimes. How do they prove this? Simple. They make comparisons of places where this is true and ignore all comparisons of places where the opposite is true. Gun-control zealots compare the United States and England to show that murder rates are lower where restrictions on ownership of firearms are more severe. But you could just as easily compare Switzerland and Germany, the Swiss having lower murder rates than the Germans, even though gun ownership is 3 times higher in Switzerland. Other countries with high rates of gun ownership and low murder rates include Israel, New Zealand and Finland.” (-IGN) This “cherry-picking” of numbers is something crooked politicians all over the globe (not just here) use to make things LOOK like what their fantasies tell them is so (IGN Watch)
