We don't.  A lot of internet memes have circulated saying there's a strong correlation, but I'd suggest taking a skeptical eye before posting one. Don't waste anyone's time unless you can explain in detail the legal situation and the actual distribution of guns and ammo in each location, before and after.

You're skeptical of actual facts and a multitude of historical representation? 

So, shouldn't the same standard of data collection and interpretation (skeptical eye as you call it) hold true if attempting to add another gun law or ban altogether? Sounds like you are all for throwing [BLEEP] against the wall and just seeing what happens, not understanding once you give an inch of freedom in hopes of additional safety through government control, you will not get it back.
