Well, if they are about the same, that means that one year has more shootings than the Other.

And if they are about the same, calling 10% fewer fatalities from "about the same amount of shootings" a victory is just dishonest.

It isn't a victory. It was luck.

Gun violence didn't go down. It "stayed about the same" which is still astronomical. The 10% fewer gun deaths talking point is nothing but a pat on the back for something that luck decided.
