Will this harvard study settle the gun control debate?
[url=http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/08/27/Harvard-Study-Shows-No-Correlation-Between-Strict-Gun-Control-And-Less-Crime-Violence][quote]The authors of the study conclude that the burden of proof rests on those who claim more guns equal more death and violent crime; such proponents should "at the very least [be able] to show a large number of nations with more guns have more death and that nations that impose stringent gun controls have achieved substantial reductions in criminal violence (or suicide)." But after intense study the authors conclude "those correlations are not observed when a large number of nations are compared around the world."[/quote][/url]
I should certainly think so.

1 ReplyEdited by Emacs: 8/28/2013 5:41:55 PMMost gun related crime involves gangs, who are themselves participating in a variety of other illegal activities. The average number of arrests for an intentional homicide (by firearm) victim in the US is 5. It's almost exclusively gangs killing people in other gangs. Government should go after the problem not the symptom, and not be influenced into make massive policy change by outlying events.
