States with stricter gun control regulations have fewer mass shootings: study

[Madmallard]

More Liberal BS.

States with stricter gun laws and lower rates of gun ownership in general saw a lower rate of mass shootings between 1998 and 2015 than did other jurisdictions where gun laws were more relaxed, according to a new study.

A study published in The BMJ found a significantly higher rate of mass shootings and other gun crimes in states that had higher rates of gun ownership among the population.

"States with more permissive gun laws and greater gun ownership had higher rates of mass shootings, and a growing divide appears to be emerging between restrictive and permissive states," the study concluded.

"A 10% increase in state gun ownership [in a state] was associated with a significant 35.1% higher rate of mass shootings," the study said.

The study's co-author told Newsweek in an interview that researchers were surprised to see such a clear divide between states with less- and more-restrictive gun laws.

WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP

 

[Marine Cpl]

How does that explain California?

 

[Mr. terzmo]

2015 ????? Can we get a better spread on the years...like up to 2018....as usual...a cross section of what works for the grabbers

"Gun ownership was estimated annually as the percentage of suicides committed with firearms in each state."

And there's your 1st mistake.

 

[Criticalt]

How about the fact that states with the LEAST restrictive gun laws have the LEAST gun crime.....Vermont, Wyoming, Arizona, West Virginia.......
Annnnd......
Who cares anyways?
My rights should have nothing to do with gun violence. Your safety is your responsibility and my saftey is my responsibility and the 2nd amendment is a huge part of me staying safe.

also a new study shows that more of the population is overweight in states that have hostess twinkie factories and outlet stores that sell said Twinkies at a discounted price which is lower than the national avg of twinkie prices.

NOW THATS NEWS!!!!

What's the body count in Chicago?

[Calculon]

This just in, states with greater numbers ofbcars have more car accidents.

 

[E the massive]

So? GFY!

 

[1911guy]

The low number of mass shootings is too small to provide valid statistical analysis. In other words, the conclusions cannot be substantiated.

 

[ProgSpear]

Assholes being assholes. Apparently never heard of John Lott Jr., or scientific analysis.

 

[Toecutter]

They skew the numbers in these studies by redifining a mass shooting from 4 people to 2 people. I skimmed the article and it didn't state their definition of a mass shooting. The people who mean to undermine our constitution have been called out for doing this shit before.

 

[carpediem]

Garbage science just like "man-caused" climate change.

 

[Tisto]

Statistics can be made to show whatever you want them to. Ask poll questions in a certain way, you will get the answer you want.

Just more liberal bullshit.

 

[Shadow2]

Yea I always take random website studies over our very own government findings .. the ones Dems so desperately hoped would support their bullshit but didn't.

Here's a little gem from the abstract - "Gun ownership was estimated annually as the percentage of suicides committed with firearms in each state." - Regardless of the context, that's one of the dumbest statements I've ever read. Morons!! But, "useful morons".

And lastly, it's a STATISTICAL study, thus it's pure, unadultered bullshit.

- If you had to use statistics to interpret your experiment, you should have done a better experiment.
- Statistics is the haven of the scientifically destitute.
