Review of More Than 130 Studies Provides Powerful Evidence That Gun Control Saves Lives!


After analyzing all of these studies, the researchers came up with three conclusions:

1. It usually takes major legislation overhaul - not just one new law - to see significant change.

2. Restricting access to guns and their purchase is associated with reductions in firearm deaths.

3.Individual studies need to be better executed and planned in future to get more convincing results.


Yep, gun control saves lives every time...!

Bullets are dangerous things. They and those who would send them flying through the air to the lethal peril of the rest of us need to be very tightly regulated.

As for statistics, states with higher levels of gun ownership also have higher rates of gun-related deaths. The two quite plainly go hand in hand.

If you compare murder rates in large cities to firearm ownership rates in the states in which they are, I see nothing conclusive that would support either side of the argument. (I could not find anything on general firearm related death rates for large cities, only states, nor could I find anything for firearm ownership rates, by large cities, but, I did not look that hard.......perhaps when I have more time). Sources: Bismarck, North Dakota Tribune, February, 2018 and a 2015 article in Buasiness Insider. Keep in mind, that this is not exhaustive research, it scratches the surface, only, but, the signs that I see are not pointing to anything conclusive on neither side of the question, at least not from statistics.

The top eleven cities for murder rates and firearm ownership in the state, in descending order.


1. St. Louis, Missouri-27,1%; low end of spectrum (I'd-a thunk Mo wouldda' been higher)

2. Baltimore, Maryland-(20,7%); low end of spectrum, one of the most restrictive gun "control" laws in the nation. Perhaps all of the rednecks on the Eastern Shore and in the western part of the state plus the thugs in Baltimore City and Prince George's County are balanced off by MontCOMMIEry, Baltimore Anne Arundel and Howard Counties.

3. Detroit, michigan-28,8%, low end of spectrum. I'd-a thunk Michigan wouldda' been higher, as well, but perhaps Southeastern Michigan offsets the U.P. plus the Detroit thugs.

4. New Orleans, Louisiana--44,5%,; high end of spectrum. No doubt high rate of ownership among rednecks in the country and smaller cities plus the Acadians in addition to the thugs in New Orleans.

5. Birmingham, Alabama-48,9%; high end of spectrum.

6. Jackson, Mississippi-42,8%; high end of spectrum.

7. Baton Rouge, Louisiana-same figures as New Orleans.

8. Hartford, Connecticut-16,6%; low end of spectrum, restrictive gun "control".

9. Salinas, California-20,1%; low end of spectrum; highly restrictive gun "control".

10. Milwaukee, Wisconsin-34,7%; middle of spectrum.

11. Washington, D.C.-25,9%; low end of spectrum, restrictive gun "control".



The map in the Business Insider article presented a spectrum where there are two low categories (0-30%), one meduium (30*40&) and two high (40%+). The highest states were:

Alaska-61,7% (duhhhhhhhhh-uh!)
Arkansas-57,9%
West Virginia-54,2%
Wyoming-53,8% (not surprising)
Montana-52,3% (not surprising, either)

The five states with the highest rate of firearm ownership had no representatives among cities with the eleven highest murder rates.

High and low end of spectrum cities were represented almost evenly in the top eleven with only one in the middle of the spectrum (six low, four high, one middle) . The top three cities were in states at the low end of the firearm ownership spectrum. The middle four were on states at the high end of the spectrum. This was followed by two low, the sole middle and finally, the last was low.

Fact is, you're making statements you have no basis for. You libstains cheer when the femiNAZIs say "Don't like abortion? don't have one". Here's one for your sorry liberal ass: Don't like guns? don't buy one.

A great point, and consider this. Everyone who takes a statistics course is told: "Correlation does not equal causation." Very true. But the corollary should also be remembered, because it is the basis of statistics: to have causation you must have correlation. That's what statistics is all about. You look for correlations and then determine if there is a causation. The fact that there is no correlation between gun ownership rates and crime rates makes a lie of claims that guns are the cause.

In your search, look a the studies by the CDC in 2013 and those by John Lott. There is also a study by the Kenyan gov't after the terrorist attack in the mall and a report by INTERPOL after the attack which showed that armed civilians were instrumental in saving hundreds of lives during the attack. This article documents one of them:

That covers virtually everything the NRA says. The White House and the Fox News Group are the only organizations that are more deliberately dishonest than the NRA.

And of course, higher rates of gun ownership do indeed correlate with higher rates of gun-related death and injury. There are more shark attacks in the ocean too, in case you dopes hadn't realized.

All sensible people support a woman's right to an abortion. In a free country, we do not compel women to give birth against their will.

Meanwhile, nearly two-thirds of US households do not own or keep guns. They get shot up by you clowns anyway.

John Lott is a gun nut whose "work" has been debunked and dismissed as a bunch of biased, poorly supported junk. Hardly surprising that you morons would endorse such a fraud. Here is something from a FAR more credible source...

---------

1. Where there are more guns there is more homicide (literature review)

Our review of the academic literature found that a broad array of evidence indicates that gun availability is a risk factor for homicide, both in the United States and across high-income countries. Case-control studies, ecological time-series and cross-sectional studies indicate that in homes, cities, states and regions in the U.S., where there are more guns, both men and women are at a higher risk for homicide, particularly firearm homicide.

^^^^^^^ Typical liberal thinking...

We who believe in the second amendment are fucking stupid and the founding fathers who believed that a government could get to the point of becoming aggressive against it's own people were also ignorant about human nature.


Our intelligent founding fathers (whose writings most average Americans would struggle to read) sought to place safeguards in the system such as arming "the people" because they realized how governments can be overrun by power crazy politicians and citizens who simply vote for the betterment of their own situation rather than the betterment of the nation.


It is also not my "useless cache of small arms" that would deter your wonderful group of socialist liberals in the government if they decided to take action against their own people, rather ALL THE OTHER GUN OWNERS in the nation that would gather together to defeat tyranny.

Meanwhile you'll be trying to get that perfect purple dye in your hair as you get ready for more RESIST protests from your parents basement!

It covers everything that the gun grabbers, CNN and MSNBC say. The only things more dishonest than the DNC are the POST, MSNBC and CNN.

The theory that higher rates of firearm ownership correlate with higher rates of injury and death from firearms looks good on paper, but, from the statistics that I have seen, it does not play out empirically.

It is not much different from stating that seat belts reduce traffic fatalities. It looks good on paper, but if you compare NHTSA statistics on observed usage versus traffic fatality rates, you find interesting items such as this...........New Jersey, which consistently ranks near the top of Observed Usage Rates, also consistently ranks at the top of Traffic Fatality Rates. New Jersey has a primary law that is enforced, though not as viciously as it is in D.C. New Hampshire consistently ranks near the bottom of Observed Usage Rates. At the same time, it consistently ranks near the bottom of Traffic Fatality Rates. New Hampshire has no seat belt law.


Life is full of things that look good on paper but do not play out in reality.

The shark attacks in the ocean versus those on land is a bad analogy. It also sidesteps the question how anyone plans to get the guns from criminals. The programmes of gun "control" always have failed to take guns from criminals. All that any of them ever have done is take firearms away from law abiding citizens who need them for self defence. The judge in the initial HELLER case cited that, sepcifically.

the 1st statement is false. The definition of "sensible" is NOT "someone who agrees with liberals"

the 2nd statement has nothing to do with the 1st. It also contains lies. If 2/3 of the households were being shot up by legitimate gun owners, 2A wouldda' been gone a long time ago. this is liberal sensationalism, just what I expect from MSNPC and NPCNN programmed libtomatons. The people who get shot get shot by the armed, violent negro criminals liberals want to coddle. If libs would stop coddling violent negro criminals, you wouldn't have most of the gun crime you do.

NRA sold (sells) death and dismemberment insurance to gun owners, with the doughnut of getting a free magazine if you sign up worth aparently the cost of the insurance.



Admittedly they've lied in the media about their "original contract" and used the money burning it up in the media and fake lobbying support - MUCH reducing the insurance payouts. But i believe they still pay cases, just a personal belief.

If you discount the 18th cent case where a bunch of crazy farmers armed w/blunderbusses, stolen weapons and outdated French weapons successfully resisted tyranny, you can consider how a bunch of guys with mostly caches of small arms and jerry rigged explosives held off Soviet tyrants in Afghanistan. You can also consider how the same type of guys managed to expel Americans from Viet Nam and are giving them a hard time in Afghanistan and Iraq. Then you have Hezbollah in Lebanon fought the Israelis to a stalemate last time they went in south Lebanon.

End of the Whiskey Rebellion...

President Washington himself rode at the head of an army to suppress the insurgency, with 13,000 militiamen provided by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The rebels all went home before the arrival of the army, and there was no confrontation. About 20 men were arrested, but all were later acquitted or pardoned.

The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the will and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws

Roughly two-thirds of US households are too smart to keep guns in the home. They know and wish to avoid the elevated risk levels that they face if they do such a foolish thing as that. You on the other hand are not smart enough to know the proper contraction of 'would have.'

One of the things that thieves most like to steal is guns. YOUR guns. Assholes like you are a primary source for cheap street guns. If one of your ex-guns is used in a crime, you should get the same sentence as the perp. How does 20 years to life sound?

Some rebellions succeed, some get put down. It's happened thru out history & will keep happening. Several rebellions against the Shah were put down until 1 succeeded. Several rebellions against Soviet client states were put down until 1 succeeded. Several rebellions against the Marcos regime were put down until 1 succeeded.

In other words, what I said holds up. The definition of "sensible" is NOT "somebody who agrees with a liberal". You've provided nothing to discount that, only trying to rephrase what your DNC programmers have put in you.

You give no proof or explanation, all you do is contradict and because you think you're so much smarter than anybody who disagrees with you, you don't think you have to. That's elitist liberal arrogance at its height. you're not very smart at all, here, or anywhere else, either.

For someone who puts on airs of superiority & is such a fucking know it all, youdda' thunk ya' couldda' seen the spelled wrong contraction was on purpose. No, you're just too dull to figure that out, Once more, you prove you're really not very smart.

The real way to say it is roughly 2/3 of US households cHOOSE not to have guns. You have rights & you can choose to exercise them or not. Besides, that number has about as much to do with this argument as a essay on a fish riding a bicycle, never mind your DNC dog trainers who blow the whistle and you type your selective things about "choice" Your dog trainers only want you to have the choices they say you can have. Nobody with any brains wants that BS, but since you surrendered your brain functions to your DNC programmers a long time ago, you're too clouded to get it.


Finally, where's your proof of the 2/3 of the households with no guns are supposably getting shot up by these right wing white rednecks from the 1/3 that have them? you have none, that's where it is. No connection there, either, there, Skippy.

Liberal lies and sensationalism exposed AGAIN!

According to KNTV, guns are #6 out of 13. That means there's 5 other things burglars prefer, although in your case, since you're a turd burglar, you only want to steal turds as you range the rump. but, back to it, burglars want cash, drugs, jewelry, TVs & gaming consoles plus phones or computers before they want guns. You can only carry so much outta' house, there, Jethro.

Thieves like to steal anything they can sell. one more, no connection.

This BS still doesn't answer how you get the guns away from negro criminals. Negro criminals are still getting guns in Balto & Chi where people supposedly can't have them. The same is true in Dc. How can burglars steal them if they're not there to steal b/c people can't have them.



You FAIL again. Total complete EPIC FAIL. That should be your ID on FFXU. Every shitpost of yours fAILS completely. That's why they're called shitposts.

Take the poopoo you're selling somewhere else, like where other programmed liberal lemmings are, b/c they're the only ones who want to buy it. Nobody here with any brains wants to buy it. You're nothing but a shitselling shitposter who's stupid, too.

Homes with cars in the driveway that have NRA bumperstickers on them are to thieves what nectar is to hummingbirds. Guns are easy to identify, easy to hide, easy to carry, and easy to sell for high dollars.

As for all these urban thugs that you fear so greatly, why not support laws that allow police to confiscate weapons they spot outside of someone’s home? That would help get guns off the streets, don’t you think?

U can't prove that. If what U said was true, guns would B the top thing taken, not 5th on the list. The burglars can sell phones and computers faster than they can sell guns.

The cite you give is a from the T H Chan school at Harvard, chaired by David Hemenway, who co-authored all the articles. Since you raise the issue of John Lott's biases and integrity, it's only fair to look at Dr. Hemenway's biases and integrity.
-----------
David Hemenway wrote an op-ed that was originally published in the Los Angeles Times and then picked up in many other newspapers.


David Hemenway’s guest column last Sunday, “Scientists reach consensus on guns,” claimed a consensus on gun research based on a survey he conducted. But he conveniently fails to mention that another similar survey of peer-reviewed researchers was released two months ago.

That survey found the exact opposite. Gary Mauser, a professor who specializes in polling at Canada’s Simon Fraser University, conducted it for the Crime Prevention Research Center. Mauser surveyed 53 economists who published in the area over the last 15 years. Among the questions: an overwhelming number — 83 percent — noted guns are more likely to be used in self-defense than in crime. Further, 74 percent said concealed handgun laws reduce murder rates and 69 percent said guns in the home don’t cause more suicides. Also, 83 percent said gun-free zones attract criminals.

Hemenway fails to note that the people he surveyed only had to mention “firearms” in their research. They didn’t have to actually conduct empirical work on guns. There were also problems in the recording of his responses. For instance, I was supposedly one of the researchers surveyed. Yet, my responses weren’t recorded. When I emailed Hemenway about this technical problem, my emails were ignored.
— John R. Lott, Jr., president, Crime Prevention Research Center, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania

More information on our survey is available here (the original survey), here (an op-ed at Fox News by John Lott (note that unlike Hemenway, Lott doesn’t hide the other poll)), and here (some news coverage in the Washington Times where David Hemenway was interviewed about our survey). For a comparison of our survey results for criminologists and economists see here (media coverage of it here, here, here, and here).

In addition, there were other mistakes in Henenway’s op-ed. For example, while he claims that 150 people answered the survey, some responses are as low as 85 or 96. The numbers are less than 122 for all but two. The 150 responses was true for only one question, but he makes it look like that was true for all of them. The big difference between the CPRC surveys and those by Hemenway is that the CPRC surveys are limited to academics who have published peer-reviewed empirical research, to be included in the Hemenway surveys academics merely had to mention the terms “firearms” or “guns.”

^^^ Your low-grade dumptruck tactics are duly noted and duly ignored. Lott is a widely known and (on account of his pervasive lying) widely disrespected shill. Hemenway is a hack only in the eyes of the blind clerics of the NRA. Well, I guess to some deluded partisans as well.

Meanwhile, there isn't any longer actual debate about guns in the academic world. This is part of what drove the ACP's complaints. To summarize, guns are an extreme and pointless factor in plagues of needless death and mayhem. Smoking can lead to cancer as well. Remember back when you reactionary clowns went about trying to deny that as well?

48% consider themselves pro-life. 48% consider themselves pro-Abortion. 68% think abortion should be available only under certain circumstances or never. All according to the last Gallup poll earlier this year. Once again, you lie and have no idea wtf you're talking about. Keep up the great work gramps.

Guns can now be printed.

There used to be hundreds of vids on youtube showing how to build a home made gun with materials you can get at any hardware store (since removed) but they're out there.

Guns aren't needed to kill hundreds of people. One guy with a truck full of fertilizer killed almost 200 people in 30 seconds.

the largest growth in gun sales has been to women. They've learned they can not count on the local authorities for protection.

But at least we now have verification that you are just a low-grade fool whose mind is closed as tight as a frog's asshole. No new ideas enter and what comes out is just crap. People like you are just like Galileo's critics (who were the academics of their day) - damned sure of themselves and their superiority but so damned wrong. It's obvious that you don't have anything to offer the discussion but your own bigotry. You want to argue personalities, not facts.

Your nonsense theory can't explain how VA, with the least restrictive gun control, has the lowest homicide rate, so you deflect to a study which says it can't be so, all the smart people know the facts have to be wrong. Which do you believe, you ask, this brilliant study or your lying eyes?

Libtards like you live in a fantasy world. You don't need facts because you already have all the answers. Anyone who disputes you has to be a liar, because you can't possibly be wrong. Pathetic.

It is a simple fact that in states with higher rates of gun ownership, there are also higher rates of gun-related death and mayhem. This holds true not just for the US, it in all the usual comparable places as well. All the deflection in the world isn’t going to change the facts.

As with many things that everybody knows, it ain't so.

Murders in US very concentrated: 54% of US counties in 2014 had zero murders, 2% of counties have 51% of the murders

The United States can really be divided up into three types of places. Places where there are no murders, places where there are a few murders, and places where murders are very common.

In 2014, the most recent year that a county level breakdown is available, 54% of counties (with 11% of the population) have no murders. 69% of counties have no more than one murder, and about 20% of the population. These counties account for only 4% of all murders in the country.

The worst 1% of counties have 19% of the population and 37% of the murders. The worst 5% of counties contain 47% of the population and account for 68% of murders. As shown in figure 2, over half of murders occurred in only 2% of counties.

N.B.: Should have been 'As I observed above'.

Meanwhile, white and black murder rates had moved more or less in tandem over the first part of this century, but they began to diverge in 2015. The black rate has increased faster since, but because there are so many more whites than blacks, it is the only slightly smaller spike in the white murder rate that has driven overall increases.

In the white community, increases have been strongly associated with advancing aspects of a new round of drug wars related to meth and opioids.

In the black community, increases have come in communal withdrawal following high profile, unjustified, and unpunished murders of black youths by police.

In both communities, there has been an increase in willingness to resort to violence, as well as reductions in police ability to confiscate guns they find on the streets. Neither of those is a helpful thing.
