Well, the party bus obviously stops at the end of paragraph 2:
Quote:
It’s not difficult to see the correlation—more bullets in the guns, more bullets in the victims.

Although everything in the first 2 paragraphs seems to indicate that the author is building a logical case based on EVIDENCE of his thesis, he suddenly pulls out the rug by admitting "well, these trends are really just running in parallel"...
So, either the writer is being disingenuous or he doesn't know the difference between the two words cause/correlation. Either of which would be another good reason to shake your head and wonder how some people get paid to teach.
