I thought you had a better understanding of statistics.

I know a whole lot about statistics. Mostly that you can selectively
create "views" from a database that will prove just about anything you
like by what you include and what you leave out.
That is why the NRA can use that same data set and get perfectly valid
numbers that say more guns create less crime.

I guess I was wrong. Selectively sorted intentionally biased data is
not perfectly valid.
