It is not only weird, it is crap.
Because it does not match gun violence numbers with violence by other means.
For instance, how many people are killed with knives
Or poisoned.
Or beat to death.
Or strangled.
Or pushed down stairs.
I will spare you the dozen or so other ways one can be killed.
The FBI statistics make it very clear that more people are killed with fists, feet or knives than with guns.
In other words, if the gun had not been there the person killed would more than likely been killed by another method by a resident in their home.
People in gun free homes are likely to live in affluent low crime areas. Makes sense actually.
Well, I think math is raacissst! So there!
Ya think?
OTOH, they are shot to death by armed intruders at a rate far lower than people who have no handgun in the house.
He looks so smart wearing virus protection equipment. I would trust anything he reported on. NOT. I’m going back to my 1980’s insult of my youth. What a fag.
this is just another anti-gun ejaculatory piece.
Only in homes with liberals…
We’ll, I’ll take my chances. My guns protect me and mine.
I’d say then time to end Biden’s and other elites and celebrities armed security details then
Lots more handguns there, than the average citizens home
Since they dont really do anything, get rid of them
You first, elites
Show us you practice what you preach
Yes, the source.
Satanford University.
Alec Baldwins prop gun has killed more people than any of my weapons ever have.
Firearms ownership data is collected by the state, the state provides private gun ownership data to such researchers. Lots of opportunity to cherry pick desired outcomes when both data collector and researchers agenda merge.
GIGO.
Summary: 12 per 100k in handgun homes die from violence perpetrated with handguns while 8 per 100k in non registered gun homes die the same way.
Correlation (registered handgun home & number of deaths) does not mean causation.
Tell me how many people die in registered handgun homes from those registered handguns compared to how many die in non-registered handgun homes by violence from use of non-registered handguns as well as how many die from violence from use of registered handguns. Then tell me the rates of justified use of force for those categories.
That would be a meaningful resukt, but alas, it would tell a scary story that won’t be told.
Lets disarm the White House first then.
Just get rid of their armed security. All of our top leaders, no more armed guards. Disband the Capitol police.
Okay. Now, take Chicago, Detroit, Compton, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New Jersey out of the mix. How about then?
So you’re more likely to get shot in a bad neighborhood.
Got it.
Well, I can only say that for the ones I bought new. My Mosin-Nagant May have participated in killing Nazis. Given the regime at the time, probably commies, too.
Oh sheet! I guess they have convinced me to get rid of my guns now! Not.
wow....another ‘study’ funded by a government grant.
I’m shocked.
