Harvard Study on "Gun Control"

It's "counterproductive." [More]

I could have told them that, and I didn't go me to no Ivy League school..

And yet over the past two years, the only two comments on that page have been by people trying to complain about the study.

When we show there's no correlation (or worse, a negative correlation) between gun ownership and violence across broadly similar demographics, they cry about other countries. "They've got less crime!"

When we show them that that isn't true, either, they talk about different demographics.

These are retarded tail-chasers. There's no point in arguing with them, it's a waste of time.

my favorite of the foreign countries the antis will avail to is austria: it has a phenominally low crime rate, and, oh no, handguns aren't carried anywhere, because all the guns are registered, and locked up at the police stations!

of course, 75-85% of the people are one ethnicity, one language (german, obama. german.), one religion.

immigration is unpopular and heavily restricted. population growth is minimal, and population density is low.

most of the country has a very high standard of living (for europe).

and get this: basic military service is compulsory. that means required by law, for you ivy-league know-it-alls.

so, which product-of-their-environment talking point shall we start with, "liberals?"

demographics?

poverty?

violence doesn't come from a gun. it comes from people dehumanizing each other into collectives with things like... yeah, you guessed it: demographics and economic classes.

they're not real, folks. they don't exist. it's just descriptive terminology. correlation will never be causation, no matter how hard you vote.

Pay no attention the to man behind the curtain!

Do not confuse people with facts. What the people feel is what matters.
That is what gets the votes.

If we pass this law prohibiting [fill in the blank with whatever],
then we can all feel safer.
