Med School Researchers Conclude Gun Control Has No Impact on Homicide Rates

[Talyn]

Gun control laws have no impact on homicide rates. Those in the gun rights community have always known that. Now, a recent study led by researchers at the Duke University School of Medicine has substantiated it. The study looked at suicide and homicide rates involving children under the age of 18 for the period of 2009 through 2020. Using mortality data from the CDC and a database of state-level firearms laws maintained by the Rand Corporation, they examined the impact of 36 different gun control laws.

“Our study clearly points to a need for more laws and controlled access to these guns,"
Did y'all read the whole story?

Obviously complete confiscation is the only answer! /s

If one calls a 16-18 year old a "child" then that's part of the problem. Extended adolescence has led to a sheltering of young people from responsibilities considered standard behavior in our day. How many in the study were gangbangers? How many have set their sights low in life because their parent(s) are absent or drug addicted? You'd think a med school study would look at those factors, but no. So, it's just another agenda driven piece of crap

Hi,

To me it seemes like the lead author, Krista Haines D.O., not like the results of her own study. So in typical academic fashion she injected her unscientific feelings in a press release, blaming the inanimate object instead of irresponsible users.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Based strictly on empirical evidence, I believe a lot of folks change their beliefs about gun control after they have been the victim of violent crime. Probably incorrect, but I call behavior like that situational ethics. Doing a “scientific” study then refuting your own findings isn’t science.

it's been said folks often are liberal in their twenties, becoming conservative later on. (various versions of that saying btw) fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, some of us are victims of crimes when we are small, thus entirely skipping the liberal phase completely.
