Attention Media: Gun Sales are NOT Collapsing in Illinois

My point in sharing this is to remind everyone the old adage that figures don't lie but liars do. Now this writer is kind when he wrote:

"Mr. Stebbins has written a number of articles involving guns, crime, and statistics. The numbers he cites are usually correct. They are from sources such as the FBI Uniform Crime Reports.

"Unfortunately, it is easy to make errors if you do not understand how the numbers are generated. It appears to be the reason for the laughable numbers in Samuel’s most recent article claiming “Gun Sales are Collapsing in Illinois.”"

SO...remember that the devil is in the details and often in the fine print.
