When I shoot a home invader or burglar (to death.. ain't happening any other way) it will be a Homicide. A Justifiable Homicide, but a Homicide none the less.
“We found zero evidence of any kind of protective effects” from living in a home with a handgun, said David Studdert, a Stanford University researcher who was the lead author of the Annals of Internal Medicine study.”
I respectively say Bull Muffins.
They've made another faux science out of their argument. The Rockefeller organizations do that pretty well to get all the changes they want.
My rifles keep those rogue pistols in line.
Yep time to take the .45 out from under my pillow. It might attack me.
They’re falling back to the 90s scare propaganda again.
Hey! What numbers do you like? We can and will change them to suit the situation.
Remember when they tried to pass off that guns in home was the biggest cause of death for children? Well it was a lie.
They just have to keep lying to sell their sh*t whenever possible.
I have never been mistaken for being a member of Mensa, with that said, wouldn’t a home with guns always have a higher percentage of the gun being used than a home with NO guns?
The authors should soak their heads in sand.
Did you check for notches, on the butt stock or barrel?
They’re a sweet collector’s item, depending upon the model. Which one do you have?
...Calling Dr. Lott...
...Calling Dr. Lott!
Those rascally Brownings Hi-Pos! Gotta watch them all the time.
Nothing cool like a 442.
2001 Intrigue which I bought new and really like.
If it wasn’t your gun at the time it was killing Nazis and commies, then Ted Kennedy’s car arguably reclaims the spot of having killed more people than your guns.
Way weird.
Overwhelming numbers of studies show that virtually all crimes with firearms occur in Democrat cities and counties. Ban Democrats, not guns!
The study has all the hallmarks of a carefully rigged anti-gun "study". The most interesting thing about the study is that apparently it is possible for people to gain access to the entire list of handgun transactions by name for the state of California. That's a surprise to me, because what other legally required registry of people's private activity is readily available from the government?
So now we all know that any government database of firearms transactions ends up leaking out to people who can then connect that data to whatever other data they want to connect it with.
As for the study itself it claims to track the relative risk of living with someone who purchases a handgun. It does not include any data related to illegally owned firearms, or firearms not in the California registry the researchers used.
The study claims that rates of homicides are higher for people living with people who have firearms, but does not attempt to control for all of the factors which may lead to the results they claim. I suspect further analysis of the study, or access to the underlying data, will show that their study methodology is flawed.
How many handguns in homes in South Central LA compared to West Los Angeles? Just my racist demon arising.
