FBI and CDC Datasets Agree: Who Has Guns—Not Which Guns—Linked to Murder Rates
The BRINK ^ | 08/06/2019 | JESSICA COLAROSSI, KAT J. MCALPINE

Boston University School of Public Health researcher Michael Siegel says that mirrored analyses of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) homicide data serve to double down on evidence that controlling who has access to guns has much more impact on reducing gun-related homicides than controlling what guns people have.

The ramifications of this get really close to Wrongthink and Hatefacts.

If Boston University told me that the sun rises in the east I’d be looking to the west.

“‘Rats should not be allowed to have guns.”

They should run that “red flag” up the flagpole and see who salutes.

We should model it after the Romans:

Actors and Prostitutes shall be forbidden from weapons and voting, now Prostitute in my mind INCLUDES the Press, the Media and Every Politician, past and present.

Bogus study.

Has all the signs.

Broad comparison of states grouped together to reach a conclusion.

Focus is on gun deaths rather than on all deaths.

Pushes for more gun laws.

In a country where society is breaking down and government is exercising more and more control, who needs so called assault weapons? The People. I enjoy going to the range and shooting them, but I’m sure the 2nd Amendment had a lot more to do with what the framers had just gone through, rulers overstepping their control of the People.

State gun laws requiring universal background checks for all gun sales resulted in homicide rates 15 percent lower than states without such laws.

They may have something there. This is a state by state comparison. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/homicide_mortality/homicide.htm

Just stay out of detroit, baltimore, and st. louis.. which all have higher murder rates ( percapita ) than chicago..

homocide rate in the state of S.C. is 9.3, homocide rate in chicago is 24.1 which is #9 on the list!!.. https://www.thetrace.org/2018/04/highest-murder-rates-us-cities-list/

don't listen to the MSM about how unsafe chicago is. st.louis is worse!

Again, where in the Constitution does it empower the federal government to regulate the sale of a legal product between two private citizens that doesn’t involve interstate trade?

VERY self evident however IF you DARE to identify those 'who should not have guns', you just KNOW that you will be branded as a RAYCISS! Just look at who, and how many times, they have branded PDJT as 'a rayciss'. Of course, no matter the actions of anyone, it is ONLY Caucasians that can truly be 'rayciss', merely by their drawing of breath. That is enough evidence to convict, in the leftist' so called 'mind'.

The CDC has been wrong in 2 notable cases.

1. They concealed vaccine adverse events so that they could claim that vaccines are safe.
2. They concealed the fact that it was fentanyl and heroin deaths causing an increase opioid OD rate. Instead, they blamed prescription opioids.

We all know how corrupt the FBI is. I think someone needs to look at the data closely and bias by those collecting and analyzing the data. Ask John Lot.

“We did twice—once using death certificate data collected by the CDC and a second time using police-reported homicide data collected by the FBI.”

I am quite familiar with problems of CDC with respect to death certificate data on drug overdoses (no tox screens, no autopsies) . Now, I would imagine that cause of death via a bullet is relatively straghtforward. But I think that the possibility of collusion by 2corrupt agencies that are likely to be ideologically opposed to gun ownership is not far fetched.

Also it is very convenient that the two studies came out only days before the shootings.

“Actors and Prostitutes shall be forbidden from weapons and voting, now Prostitute in my mind INCLUDES the Press, the Media and Every Politician, past and present.”

Correlating actors and prostitutes with the press, media, and politicians does a disservice to hard working actors and prostitutes. I think it’s more accurate to label the press, media and politicians as whores......

Expanded Background Checks SHOULD mean:

Holding minors accountable for violence and serious mental health issues.
