So... looking into the facts a bit, the case gets shaky. There were 14 million background checks, a 10% increase over the previous year. This admittedly has some correlation with gun ownership, but we don't know how many guns were purchased.
In addition, there's only one thing in his set of facts that implies a decrease in crime occurrences.... everything else is in there to bulk it out. He also includes some facts about regional crime distribution, but nothing about regional gun ownership, which makes it impossible to compare his numbers.
The author may feel free to say "It is fair to compare these two seemingly unrelated facts? You’re damn right it is."
