This Harvard study further corroborates the study made sometime back by John Lott Jr..
Maybe now that Harvard has confirmed it people will start believing it but you’re right that John Lott earlier has been making the case with compelling facts for years.
Good catch!
Duh!

Irrelevant. Gun bans make liberals feel better about themselves. That’s all that matters (to the liberals)
Asymmetric gun bans don’t reduce crime. Disarming the law-abiding while leaving the criminals armed is going to increase crime.
A gun ban can reduce crime if it is done according to the “Singapore Solution” where any gun misuse (or sometimes possession) leads to brutal punishment, and crimes of force are treated severely. But if you go that route, you’d better hope that the government stays benevolent, because the populace is completely defenseless.
The 2A balances the two considerations of self-defense against criminals and self-defense against government.
Liberals are stupid on this.
Whenever the conversation turns to "gun violence" I mention "car violence". Some liberal will ask me what I'm talking about, and I tell them, if guns kill people, then so do cars, so it should be called "car violence", not "accidents".
The liberals all blink in their mis-comprehension.
A well-armed society is a polite society. It’s the CODE OF THE WEST. And we knew that.
Yeah, but gun bans increase the injustice rate. So the left will still be all for them.
I’d like to see that chart correlate violent crimes with CCW licenses.
Don’t look for this story in the mainstream press; it won’t deter anti-gunner rhetoric in the slightest.
Reality never does.
I am impressed with this organization on a daily basis, and once again, the CDC did not waver. They stuck to hard scientific principles and reported results that went counter to anti-gunner desired outcomes. HOOAH for them.
Of all the guns in America I have never Never seen a gun commit a crime. The stupid things just sit there doing nothing. All of them just sit there minding their own business most just lay around collecting dust.
Show me a study that a gun ever did anything.
Like you can’t get to the moon on fractions, it takes whole numbers!
Study? What study? I don gotta show you no stinkin’ study.
If you ban young black males from owning/operating guns, for sure that will substantially reduce gun violence. Study that!
Don’t try to confuse these people with facts.

SOLUTION: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.
