Good to know the noticable increase of gunfire in Buckhead Atlanta is just my imagination.

lmao, you mean one of the most prominent neighborhoods in Georgia?

And that wasn't my claim at all, only that crime rates are rising in some areas and that a "you're wrong because my averages say you are" argument isn't a compelling against the echo of a 45mm.
