This argument is akin to claiming that the availability of sawed-off shotguns implies that a "significant" number of people are buying them and shooting people with them. It's not a substitute for statistical evidence of use and lawbreaking.

Besides, "significant" is a classic weasel word - it could mean one, for all we know.

Yes. I weaseled so hard I literally said "I present no evidence." Thank you for pointing that out.
