Premise: But the best way to protect our citizens from guns is to prosecute those who commit crimes with guns. And that's why early in my administration I called the attorney general and the U. S. attorneys and said: Put together a task force all around the country to prosecute those who commit crimes with guns. And the prosecutions are up by about 68 percent -- I believe -- is the number.
Hypothesis: Since a task force has been introduced, the number of prosecutions have for gun crime has gone up by roughly 68 percent.
