Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy has just released a study of the relative effects of stringent gun laws. They found that a country like Luxenbourg, which bans all guns has a murder rate that is 9 times higher than Germany, where there are 30,000 guns per 100,000 people. They also cited a study by the U.S.National Academy of Sciences, which studied 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and it failed to find one gun control initiative that worked.
In fact, in many cases it found that violence is very often lower, where guns are more readily available. The report points to a myth that guns are more easily obtained in the United States than in Europe. That is factually incorrect.

The MSM is pushing for a police state under a omnipotent central government.
It’s important to get the meme out there.
“Gun Control is Racism”.
I can`t find this anywhere on the Harvard journal site
viz http://www.harvard-jlpp.com/archive/#241
It`a too bad and unscholarly to release “report” of a “study” without giving the actual source for the report and the source html info for the “study”. This is appears to be a dead-end source so far as any reference to the original Harvard article/study is nowhere to be found on their website. http://www.harvard-jlpp.com
http://www.harvard-jlpp.com/archive/
and there is no searchbox so you can`t find anything even if you tried to.
HELP!!
this Harvard report says the direct opposite is true:
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/newsplus/report-finds-states-with-highest-gun-violence-have-weakest-gun-laws
Another Harvard institution says the opposite also
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/newsplus/new-safety-measures-needed-to-reduce-gun-violence/
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/new-safety-measures-needed-to-reduce-gun-violence/
What is going on here?
Where`s the source for this headline?
“Harvard study shows gun control doesn’t save Lives”
