75. Of course, but not in the way you think

The term "assault weapon"--in the meaning of "semi-automatic firearm with military-looking features"--didn't exist 30 years ago, so there were zero crimes committed with so-called "assault weapons." Assuming that the number of crimes committed with so-called "assault weapons" now is more than zero, it follows there must have been an increase in the interim. But is that a meaningful observation?
