I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

By Leah Libresco October 3, 2017


(Leah Libresco is a statistician and former newswriter at FiveThirtyEight, a data journalism site. She is the author of "Arriving at Amen.")

Before I started researching gun deaths, gun-control policy used to frustrate me. I wished the National Rifle Association would stop blocking common-sense gun-control reforms such as banning assault weapons, restricting silencers, shrinking magazine sizes and all the other measures that could make guns less deadly.

Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months analyzing all 33,000 lives ended by guns each year in the United States, and I wound up frustrated in a whole new way. We looked at what interventions might have saved those people, and the case for the policies I'd lobbied for crumbled when I examined the evidence. The best ideas left standing were narrowly tailored interventions to protect subtypes of potential victims, not broad attempts to limit the lethality of guns.

I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia and concluded that they didn't prove much about what America's policy should be. Neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans. Mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress. And in both Australia and Britain, the gun restrictions had an ambiguous effect on other gun-related crimes or deaths.

When I looked at the other oft-praised policies, I found out that no gunowner walks into the store to buy an "assault weapon." It's an invented classification that includes any semi-automatic that has two or more features, such as a bayonet mount, arocket-propelled grenade-launcher mount, a folding stock or a pistol grip. But guns are modular, and any hobbyist can easily add these features at home, just as if they were snapping together Legos.

As for silencers — they deserve that name only in movies, where they reduce gunfire to a soft puick puick. In real life, silencers limit hearing damage for shooters but don't make gunfire dangerously quiet. An AR-15 with a silencer is about as loud as a jackhammer. Magazine limits were a little more promising, but a practiced shooter could still change magazines so fast as to make the limit meaningless.

As my co-workers and I kept looking at the data, it seemed less and less clear that one broad gun-control restriction could make a big difference. Two-thirds of gun deaths in the United Statesevery year are suicides. Almost no proposed restriction would make it meaningfully harder for people with guns on hand to use them. I couldn't even answer my most desperate question: If I had a friend who had guns in his home and a history of suicide attempts, was there anything I could do that would help?

However, the next-largest set of gun deaths — 1 in 5 — were young men aged 15 to 34, killed in homicides. These men were most likely to die at the hands of other young men, often related to gang loyalties or other street violence. And the last notable group of similar deaths was the 1,700 women murdered per year, usually as the result of domestic violence. Far more people were killed in these ways than in mass-shooting incidents, but few of the popularly floated policies were tailored to serve them.

By the time we published our project, I didn't believe in many of the interventions I'd heard politicians tout. I was still anti-gun, at least from the point of view of most gun owners, and I don't want a gun in my home, as I think the risk outweighs the benefits. But I can't endorse policies whose only selling point is that gun owners hate them. Policies that often seem as if they were drafted by people who have encountered guns only as a figure in a briefing book or an image on the news.

Instead, I found the most hope in more narrowly tailored interventions. Potential suicide victims, women menaced by their abusive partners and kids swept up in street vendettas are all in danger from guns, but they each require different protections.

Older men, who make up the largest share of gun suicides, need better access to people who could care for them and get them help. Women endangered by specific men need to be prioritized by police, who can enforce restraining orders prohibiting these men from buying and owning guns. Younger men at risk of violence need to be identified before they take a life or lose theirs and to be connected to mentors who can help them de-escalate conflicts.

Even the most data-driven practices, such as New Orleans' plan to identify gang members for intervention based on previous arrests and weapons seizures, wind up more personal than most policies floated. The young men at risk can be identified by an algorithm, but they have to be disarmed one by one, personally — not en masse as though they were all interchangeable. A reduction in gun deaths is most likely to come from finding smaller chances for victories and expanding those solutions as much as possible. We save lives by focusing on a range of tactics to protect the different kinds of potential victims and reforming potential killers, not from sweeping bans focused on the guns themselves.

We need it "NWO"?

Right, like the New World Order you liberals want to force on us. You want a repressive nanny state where everyone marches in lockstep to the "Programme"; where your opinions are given to you and your thoughts are controlled. You want a suppressive socialist dictatorship where anyone who disagrees with the "Programme" on even the smallest point is packed off to the gulag or the booby hatch and pumped full of thorazine until he dies.

There's a reason we didn't elect Hillary Clinton. There's a reason people call her "Hitlery". We don't want your New World Order. If that's what you want, they have places just for you: Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela. Go there because we don't want you or your bullshit here.

Venezuela banned private citizens from owning guns seven years ago, leaving firearms solely in the hands of the army and the police. Now, as the country’s opposition attempts to oust the oppressive Maduro regime from power, it is a decision some have come to regret.I

You are correct. Putin, a Nationalist, putting his own nation first and rightly so is hated by the Main stream media just like Trump is.
Anyone who is not a globalist will son realize that the the New World Order has already begun. Putin said it himself. It was just last week, I believe.
I not praising Putin, nor and I a Russian bot ( lol ),
However, I respect the fact that Putin doesn't care about political correctness.
He doesn't want Muslims migrating to his nation because he know his history.
(Sorry Achmed.) When a nation's population reaches 10 percent Muslim, that nation will eventually become dominated by Islam. At the 10 percent mark, all hell breaks loose; bombings, a real fear grips the people and they begin to lick the boot of Islam, just like those pathetic losers in New Zealand, after a mentally deranged man shot up a mosque.

That's right. If it's not Muslim migrants flooding and ruining the nations and culture in Europe, it's the illegals flooding our southern border here at home.
The globalists and elite globalist groups, like the UN, the Club of Rome, The Bilderbergers, The Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, and countless other subgroups of these all under the Grand Luciferian Umbrella of the Illuminized Freemasonry Cult, or ( Illuminati, as it was originally referred to). All of the people in these groups, salivate for America's Demise, socially, economically and spiritually.
They will applaud when people take to the streets to physically fight one another over information, FAKE NEWS V. BANNED NEWS and Information whose suppliers are all labelled NAZIS, HATERS et al. and those recently fabricated phrase "White nationalist" (lol).

The game these well connected and wealthy people play is that of divide and conquer and then torture and control.

Leftists, If you are naive enough to believe that they have your best interests in mind. You are WRONG!! You are being used as pawns, little idealogical foot soldiers to carry their Filthy pails full of LIES and deception, the Cool aid to extinguish the the Truth from being told.

If you can't see it, you will need enlightenment. The best way I know to be enlightened and the only way to overcome what's coming, is to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. All the Clown Business going on with our nation's leaders right now, along with the Censorship of Information by the BIG TECH Giants, is based in the spiritual world. Read the Bible, or a dystopian novel to understand what lies ahead.
There certainly will be a One World Government at some point. Prophecy tells us so. But it does not mean rolling over and giving up. Those who believe must stand up for what is right and fight with the truth.
Speak up!! or you will lose your right to express yourselves. I say this to, to those who somehow think all this censorship is working toward your political benefit. It is not, you too will be as victim. Stand up for your rights NOW!!
or forever lose them.

We have gun control in the country. We have always had gun control in this country. It is only the NRA and the gun grabbing Brady crowd who think gun control means a prohibition on any form of private gun ownership.

You want gun control?

Try breaking into my house some night. I'll put a tight group in your center of mass.

There. Gun Control.

Happy?
