fewer
guns and
less
violence (Europe vs USA)

Cherry picking! There are plenty of places with fewer guns and more violence, and where it makes no difference.

I am not implying that less guns means less violence, since "correlation does not imply causation". I am merely pointing to you that if
you
wanna cherry-pick your correlations (which mean nothing), I'll cherry-pick mines.
