“While many factors explain these concentrated murders, it is also striking that the counties with zero murders are the counties with by far the highest gun ownership rates,” Lott said.
It’s funny they tell us that many factors explain the concentration of murders in certain areas, but then don’t tell us what those factors are. They keep us guessing as to what correlations exist between murders and the unexplained factors.
It shows that broad-based efforts at “gun control” have little to do with where concentrated effort on the problem needs to be applied.
