Few people understand statistics which is why people can use them freely to make absurd arguments. For example, I could take this same set of statistics and argue that "incidents" are less frequent during NRA conventions because perps fear that there are good people with guns massing somewhere. And the fact that these incidents occur with significantly less frequency in states where NRA conventions are being held, because that's where the good people with guns are gathering.
