Original Note:
Gavin cites gun deaths in 2020 - a year where lockdowns reduced public gatherings. Lockdown policy was correlated with political affiliation (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science-and-politics/article/partyline-pandemic-a-closer-look-at-the-partisan-response-to-covid19/B56F979ADB46A43566AE45123667092F), as are gun law restrictions. The cited statistic merely posits that when people are more confined, they die less often from guns.
