Crime Prevention Research Center ^ | March 27, 2018

Do more gun control laws mean fewer firearm deaths? Gun control advocates typically provide graphs looking across states that show more gun control laws related to fewer firearm deaths, but there are real problems with this approach. A Boston University School of Public Health project is one of the latest to make the rounds in various news outlets.

Washington, DC (with 1977 handgun ban) 
A year after the Baltimore Bullets moved to DC they changed the name of the team to Wizards, some PR lackey's idea of "making a difference". Yeah, like that really reduced gun violence in CD, didn't it? Symbolism over substance.

Stricter gun laws are a response violent crime that never actually works. They should all have sunset provisions like the failed federal ban on semi automatic rifles.

>> You are lucky it wasn’t an illegal that caused the accident. Then it would all be on you since they don’t need no stinkin insurance.

*** I don’t know if the other driver as an illegal or not, but she only spoke Spanish and the car was a rental. The rental car agency took care of everything and paid the $2300 repair bill and provided the rental car for my wife to drive for 10 days and ate the bill for that too. I do remember the Cop saying we had nothing to worry about, because the other driver was being charged with a felony.

Truth!

They always want to sweep the millions murdered by various socialist regimes be they national socialists or state socialists under the rug. “Well......that was war.....you can’t count that”. The hell we can’t! Not only can we, we MUST! Defense against tyrannical government was the whole reason for having a second amendment. All it takes is one tyrant to come to power and suddenly their utopian vision of perfect peace and harmony with no guns falls apart.

Its a good report, but for more widespread reading and public recognition, a good writer needs to edit out a lot of the statistics language and break down meanings and results to what more people will understand before they get lost in the text in the report as it is.

Here's the money quote:

"Once one accounts for the average pre-existing differences in homicide and suicide rates across states and the average annual changes in those deaths from year-to-year, stricter gun laws are associated with more total deaths from homicides and suicides."

(Emphasis added.)

>> So those “studies and statistics” are window dressing typical of post-modernist pseudo-scientific taxpayers funded academia. They have zero value and zero common sense. <<

Not necessarily, because a careful scholar and statistician like John Lott can and does take the statistics used by the folks in Boston and show how, with a proper analysis, those statistics in fact show exactly the opposite of what the Boston folks set out to prove.
