An analysis of thousands of gun control studies claims that just 63 of those studies found connections between more stringent gun control laws violent crime and suicide reductions.

The non-profit RAND corporation spent two years and $1 million on the analysis, searching for evidence of benefit from gun control policies. RAND’s analysis looked to establish connections between gun policies and rates of homicide, suicide, self-defense gun use, hunting, and other categories. The vast majority of those categories went unaffected by legislation, however, according to NPR.

“Most of the effects that we were looking for evidence on, we didn’t find any evidence,” Andrew Morral, who lead the analysis.

I could have saved them half a million. If they had called, I could have told them the same thing for half the price. Or, could it be they just looked in all the wrong places?

The solution has always been there. Killers must assume that schools are hard targets. This can only happen with common knowledge that all schools have the potential for an immediate armed response. Common knowledge is still a long way away.

And common sense is fading in the rear view mirror.

It’s literally impossible to comprehend the fact that criminals don’t obey laws for some reason.

Any Freeper could have told them, but yes they looked in all the wrong places and listened to all the wrong people.

Colin Greenwood came to the same sorts of conclusions back in the early 1970s concerning his study of firearms laws in the United Kingdom.

Bring back God.

We can’t do that!

God is against everything Liberals are for.

Abortion, homosexuals, contraception, recreational drugs, personal responsibility.

You name it. If God is against it the Libs are for it.

If God is for it the Libs are against it. Like; Marriage is only for one man and one woman, children in the context of marriage and life after death.

They’re missing the point It’s not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on inside or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
THE MEDIA IS DOING THIS BECAUSE
THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED
THEY DON’T WANT US TO LOOK AT THE POLICIES WHICH ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN...TIME TO DEMAND STATE AND FED PUBLIC HEARINGS ON PARKLAND
