Merely addressing the semantics/pedantry of something that is being phrased incorrectly. In no way was that aimed at you, btw, just aimed at the study and those reporting the study in media.
I agree that limiting data is idiotic. We need to be able to pinpoint problems in areas and address those problems and if we don't get the granular data we need, we can't get granular with addressing issues. I don't care how bad the data makes guns look, we can't make meaningful changes without data.
This goes all the way to a state/county level. States/counties with lax reporting requirements, or lax punishments for lack of reporting, or the inability to separate crimes into categories, hurt the public.
Why the dip in 2017 and 2018?
Why the uptick in 2014- was it related to Vine? Why the 2006 spike- was it related to YouTube?
