The murder rate overall has gone down, but we are still an outlier when it comes to the number of guns and gun homicides.

This is a strange definition of correlated, where one variable changes and the other does not.

Our outlier high gun homicide rate is dependent on our extremely high number of guns easily available to commit those homicides.
