The relevant data point for 1992 is the year after the amendment. That's a 39% drop from 1992 (1.9) to 1993 (1.16). Similarly, the relevant data for 2009 is the year after. That's down 36.5% from 2009 (1.55) to 2010 (0.98). Those are the two biggest drops on the chart. Citing the years before the law changes - in anticipation of changes that hadn't happened yet - is either asinine or dishonest. We don't do time travel around here.

And what were the effects on gun deaths in New Zealand? Why don't you cite those? Oh, I think we know. Those arguments are both post hoc and red herrings. You can add those to your collection, along with cherry picking and goalpost moving. Yes, you're done all right. Positively toasty.
