Here is the same data, with poverty added for each state.
Again, look at the 13 sets of states with very similar AA%. Only 7 (out of 13) of them support the claim of "when AA% is the same, higher poverty rate leads to higher homicide rate." That's less than 54% support rate. On the other hand, 8 out of 12 sets support the claim of "when AA% is the same, higher gun ownership leads to higher homicide rate." That's a 67% support rate.
Of course, you will take the 54% unconditionally and refuse to accept the 67%. That's your double standard.
The six sets of states that do not support the claim of "higher poverty leads to higher homicide rate" are highlighted in red. Many of the deviations are very big, and some even suggest the opposite.
Sources of data are given at the bottom of the data table. Crime rates are from fbi's 2022 report, and poverty from Department of Agriculture's 2021 report. AA% and gun ownership are easily accessible online.

哈哈,首先要欢迎你在热搜下台后再次登录美新。说实话,目前所有反枪派中也就你还有些水平,马马虎虎作个对手。其他人水平实在太次。粗略看了一下,你这次的论证有以下几个需要更正或者解释的地方。
1. 首先你需要提供原始数据的链接,这样才能核实数据可靠性。
2. VT和UT的谋杀数据和我印象中不符合,VT应该更低,UT应该更高。
3. 我说人口组成和AA比例时,只是说人口组成是最大影响因素,而AA是人口组成中影响最大的子因素,不等于他们是唯一因素。 虽然AA影响最大,但不等于可以永远忽视其他族裔比例的影响。比如夏威夷,黑人很少,但白人也很少,只占了25%,FBI谋杀率统计中归入其他族裔的亚裔/太平洋岛民/印第安人/混血占了70%,这些人的总体谋杀率只有白人的一半,按人口比例矫正的话,夏威夷的等价谋杀率就成了3。
4. 你这种强行按AA比例把州分组比较枪支的做法要成立的前提,就是除了AA和枪支以外没有其他因素或者其他因素都一样。这个前提实际中显然不成立。除了人口以外,最重要的因素应该是经济水平。
我为什么只对比加州和德州,因为在人口组成和经济这两个重要因素中,加州都优于德州,但加州治安和真实谋杀率却差于德州,说明了反枪派用加州德州对比来证明枪支导致犯罪增加是不成立的。而这种各种因素指向性一致的情况是很难找到的。
你要对比其他州的情况,也应该是在其他因素和你考察因素不矛盾时的结论才可靠。你那几个所谓证明了拥枪率低谋杀率低的数据组,其中枪少谋杀少的州基本都比同组其他州更富裕,所以把它们的低谋杀率简单归于枪少的结论是不可靠的,更可靠的结论是因为富裕而谋杀率低。
