Glad you enjoyed the chart. I had a good time making it. Dave Kopel of Volokh Conspiracy is a national treasure imho, and was kind enough to publish my work. My intent was to remind the gun grabbers how badly they are losing. I am reminded of the part of Henry V where Shakespeare has Henry saying to the recalcitrant leaders of rebel Honfleur "Will you yield?" It's time for the losers to admit they lost the debate. We've beat them in the state legislatures and we're beating them in the courts since Heller and McDonald.

Next thing you know people will be stumbling all over themselves to pay even more extortion money *just to have* stuff.
