About that 'Epidemic'...

[T]he Federal Bureau of Investigation’s released its Uniform Crime Report for 2018, and violent crime, including murder, declined significantly last year. [More]

"The nation’s violent crime rate in 2018 is less than half of what it was at its peak in 1991..."

We have recently seen that some continue to claim that the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban led to a lower violent crime rate. How then do we explain that the trend continues fourteen years after the ten years of the AWB being in effect? It appears that some are confusing coincidence with causation or correlation.
