I thought you had a better understanding of statistics. I know a whole lot about statistics. Mostly that you can selectively create "views" from a database that will prove just about anything you like by what you include and what you leave out. That is why the NRA can use that same data set and get perfectly valid numbers that say more guns create less crime. If I was going to dig into their numbers I would start with how many of the "banned" gun styles are responsible for the murders in the states where they are not banned. "Assault weapons" are not really used in that many murders but they tend to be the ones that make the news. Nobody is going to tune in to hear about a couple of black gangsters who are killed by another black gangster over a drug corner. That will usually be with a $100 stolen handgun not an AR. I think you would find out that the "banned" gun styles that are most often used in crimes are of the type pistol. Since the vast majority of pistols are semi-automatics, where revolvers and "autos" are effectively the same due to their operation what specifiability are we going to ban? |

What's to explain? Chicago and DC don't show up on any mass shooter list I've seen. Gangbangers shooting each other, with the occasional innocent collateral. Mass shootings happen where gun nuts live. A legal CT gun nut provided the guns in that case. Not hard to figure out. Most mass shootings happen in "gun country," not cities that discourage gun nuts. And what makes you think you can't legally have a handgun in Chicago? NRA tell you that? Gangbangers and other criminals would have a much harder time getting guns without the "legal" gun nut purchasers around to make it all easy. The Lanza woman is a perfect example. A gun nut providing weapons for a mass shooter. |
