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.
Yeah, I see that, but the outcome will be opposite in my experience. Since there is no positive correlation, then why allow something useless?
It might turn negative and all.
Clear research indicates that indeed, more guns,less crime. They pretty much reject that peer reviewed effort for decades now.
