A new study purporting to show Nevada gun shows are responsible for an increase in firearm-related deaths and injuries in nearby California was criticized as "poorly done" on Tuesday.

I wouldn’t trust a Berzerkely study purporting to show that gravity remains substantially unchanged since yesterday.

🙀🦄. Just because every gun is deadly, doesn't mean it causes a death. Saw someplace yesterday someone suggested driving be restricted or severely limited because some drunk will crash sometime somewhere. Same asinine deal.

If there really were a serious emergency or problem with guns due to a lack of legislative controls pertaining to them, I would expect Vermont to be a great deal more of a dangerous and violent place than California.

I've got a study that links car crashes with NFL football games. (Not really, but it's probably true.)

I would expect Vermont to be a great deal more of a dangerous and violent place than California.

Heck, Texas would be like The Invasion of Normandy...

I am not familiar with Nevada gun laws, but don’t most states restrict purchases to citizens of their own state? If this is the law in Nevada, it would seem merely enforcing the law would solve the problem caused by California’s criminals. Of course California does not respect borders, so I guess the concept would elude them.

Stupid.
