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.

5 Replies1) This wasn't a Harvard study. It was a study published in a Harvard publication. There is a difference. 2) What the authors looked at, and the way it is being presented are two totally different things. 3) The authors are well known pro-gun champions. This throws the "study" into dubious light. 4) No, even if this was a Harvard study from non-biased researchers, people will never stop the argument. 5) My balls really itch.
