Don't just emphatically assert you are right, show the statistics.

And please, don't kid yourself that all guns are registered. One should add a percentage for that. I've been to these places. I suggest you add a large percentage for not registered. (Think about the number of hunters.)
Who mentioned registered guns? (HINT: You did, back in post 259)

Then you ought to be able to back it up by something more than just repeating it over and over.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
