The first weapon was a rock. Try to ban rocks.

My guess is that too many people had access to the raw data for them to be able to lie ... That’s probably the only reason they told the truth.

This was posted in the Harvard Law Review, it is not a Harvard study. Done by 2 criminologists, one with the Pacific Research Institute and one who teaches at Simon Fraser in Canada.
Please read the link first.

The first weapon was a rock. Or, a bone. Same thing... try and ban them.

So, you think that the researchers had the guts to admit that it is a culture thing?
The crime rate among whites in this country is roughly equivalent to the more peaceful countries in Europe.
It only gets ugly when you factor in blacks and “hispanics.”
Of course, it is racist to notice such a thing...

I don’t need a Harvard study to tell me what common sense has always told me. I also recall reading a book by John Lott called “More Guns Less Crime” back in 1995 or so. This study from Harvard is a day late and a dollar short. They probably lifted the data from Lotts’ book. Worthless leftwing college.

Harvard study reveals gun control counterproductiveThat all depends on what your goals are. If genocide is on the agenda, then gun control is very effective.

We are never really safe while there are any physical objects in the universe.
All matter and anti-matter but be banned!

That all depends on what your goals are. If genocide is on the agenda, then gun control is very effective. I can't speak for Hispanics (or minorities for that matter). But between the black on black crime and abortion, their culture is one of self population control.

“Gun control” is designed to control people not guns.
