At Any Rate

STATES WITH STRONGER gun laws experience lower rates of gun violence, according to Giffords Law Center's annual Gun Law Scorecard released Friday. [More]
Left unsaid:

  • A "gun violence" rate can be higher for a low-population state than a high population state's even though the latter has far more killings.
  • How many of those "higher rate" incidents took place in Democrat urban enclaves within the state?
  • How many of those "higher rate" incidents would have been averted had the edicts the grabbers are pushing been enacted?
  • How do they account for the fact that the 5M or so members of the NRA -- arguably the most heavily-armed civilian population on the planet -- also have a "homicide" rate lower than Japan's when you consider one of the metrics being used is suicide?

"Gun violence" -- the argument of the stupid and professional prevaricators.

Rwanda had a "gun violence" rate less than most US states while they were committing a NATIONWIDE ETHNIC GENOCIDE.
