Harvard Law Review: No Correlation Between Gun Ownership and Violence

[One Eyed Cat]

The inverse was actually found to be true. I would have to see more studies taking into account the variables found as operative: social and economic. A correlation between gun ownership/availability and murder/suicide seems to be debunked completely by the international data, however.

Interesting. I can't decide if it is funny or sad that people are so twisted up on that issue.

hmm is suicide violence?

to me violence is hurting someone else there has been violence without guns and sometimes more brutal without a firearm involved

i think guns are neutral there have been plenty of victims and plenty of heros

the problem is that buzzwords and headlines never address real issues

if drugs are bad why do they have drugstores
and if guns are bad why do police have them

see but inorder to define stuff takes too much time so everything is just based on prejudice

Suicide as violence? Dunno. They always include it the studies though.

Folks like to point their fingers. It is both in a sense. To me, it is quite interesting.
