It’s worse than that. LA and NYC failed to report because of the NIBERS changeover but only because there’s a grace period for reporting to the FBI as they comply with the changeover. Everything about this article is dishonest.
Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—the supposedly non-partisan national public health agency of the United States—quietly deleted some data on defensive gun uses from its website.
Great response! I’ll further add that the OP article does the exact same thing. It redefines the metric to be more favorable to its narrative despite not being the metric by which any agency in the country measures these numbers and then it fails to explain its own methodology and why that is more accurate. It’s dishonestly redefining its terms while ignoring all the issues inherent with this data in the first place.
