This video debunks the New York Times' claim that legal gun sales contribute to violent crime. Experts from the Heritage Foundation argue that crime has decreased over 30 years despite increased gun ownership, and that criminals, not lawful owners, are responsible for the vast majority of violent crimes. They emphasize that correlation does not equal causation, and that increased gun purchases during the pandemic were a response to perceived threats and a decline in police response times, not a cause of crime.
