Some, like S&W have been at full capacity for the past 5 years,
indicating a strong demand for their products. Additionally, new
applications for permits have been at record levels. Despite this,
gun related homicides nationally are declining.
Which would seem to disprove the title of this thread, and the supposed statistical link claimed by the study.
Some dimwits aren't smart enough to realize that these two ideas are
not at odds with one another. You can have both a declining homocide
rate and a higher rate of homicide in regions with higher gun
ownership.
Some people have the academic credentials and investment into the
subject matter to make claims and some people do not.
Why don't you dimwits leave the thinking to those with brains enough
to do so.
