Seems the good doctors will use the “no correlation” between rates of CCW/lawful guns and crime in any way they wish. Fact is there has been a tremendous decrease in violent crime with a huge increase in lawful carry/possession of arms over the last 30-40 years. How no correlation in the decrease of violent crime per capita with a great increase in lawful arms is past me.
Kinda like saying a decrease in drownings while boating while increase in use of PFDs has no correlation....
Knowing the AMA etc, this will be used to say that increased arms does not make us safer....
The point of framing anything to do with guns as a "public health" issue is to remove such regulations from Constitutional restraint.
One of the first enormous victories of Progressives was to have the courts define "safety and health" as issues the government could address without most Constitutional protections.
The First and Fourth amendments mostly do not apply with mandatory vaccinations.
They also intend to use the medical profession as a strong propaganda force to decrease gun ownership as "unsafe" and a "risk factor".
Those studies are shoddy affairs, as the article mentions.
This study is a breath of sanity, in comparison.
