Except that data is there to prove the point - more guns correlates with more deaths. Regardless how you compare - different states inside US or different count

- wavegeek 9y agoWhat a load of rubbish. 1. The compare gun deaths. This includes suicides and excludes all other murders. So it is a totally biased metric. They even admit most gun deaths are suicides. 2. Ignore by far the most salient variables for predicting murders.
- jessaustin 9y agoThis is typical "advocacy research". They don't care about science; they only care about getting funded. The general public knows this, so for the most part their research is completely ignored. Don't even get me started on the "suicide is always terrible" bullshit. Many suicides are rational responses to untenable situations. I'm glad that my grandfather had a gun, when AEC and his physicians had both failed him completely.
