Article from: Reuters


AMERICAN states where more people own guns have higher murder rates,
including murders of children, researchers at the Harvard School of
Public Health have reported.


That twisted statistic fails the address the possibility (PROBABILITY) that
states with a higher rate of firearm ownership have the weapons because of
the higher rates of violence, such as in states with large corrupt and
violent cities, e.g., Los Angeles, NY, Atlanta, Newark, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Saint Louis, and the top of the pack, Naw-leans.

It also goes contrary to the fact that states like Wyoming with very high
firearm ownership rates have miniscule violent crime.

The Boston buffoons are at it again.


Before you talk about "twisted statistics" you should consider some
reality: The murder rate in New York City is lower than Cheyenne, Wy.
