New York City crime rate lowest in 40 years

[skookerasbil]

nobody cares about gun control........damn near dead last in EVERY SINGLE poll of voter concerns.

Oh.....and check out murder rates in European countries where guns have been banned >>>

Harvard University put this shit to rest when it published THIS in April of 2013 >>

More guns = less crimes.........oh..........and this is the full paper, not some dumbass journalist interpretation!

That is the biggest bs story i've heard NY SAFER LMFAO : no why they are telling you dumbasses that because they don't want to end up like France and lose their tourism rates. and with NY being Muslim ass kissers wtf wants to go to NY they will lose billions once they can't cover up what's really going on there. Sooner or later their lies come out.

As they allow illegals to be pardoned, but let an American do the same thing and hypocritical liberals want to cook them in the chair.

Gun control doesn’t reduce crime, violence, say studies

The National Academy of Sciences issued a 328-page report based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, a survey of 80 different gun-control laws and some of its own independent study.

In short, the panel could find no link between restrictions on gun ownership and lower rates of crime, firearms violence or even accidents with guns.

But here is one that does exist, and a direct link to it;

Significance
Waiting period laws that delay the purchase of firearms by a few days reduce gun homicides by roughly 17%. Our results imply that the 17 states (including the District of Columbia) with waiting periods avoid roughly 750 gun homicides per year as a result of this policy. Expanding the waiting period policy to all other US states would prevent an additional 910 gun homicides per year without imposing any restrictions on who can own a gun.

Abstract
Handgun waiting periods are laws that impose a delay between the initiation of a purchase and final acquisition of a firearm. We show that waiting periods, which create a “cooling off” period among buyers, significantly reduce the incidence of gun violence. We estimate the impact of waiting periods on gun deaths, exploiting all changes to state-level policies in the Unites States since 1970. We find that waiting periods reduce gun homicides by roughly 17%. We provide further support for the causal impact of waiting periods on homicides by exploiting a natural experiment resulting from a federal law in 1994 that imposed a temporary waiting period on a subset of states.

Just from the basic idea...that a criminal isn't going to commit murder because of a waiting period should show you how worthless that study is......

And this is why this study is crap.....

Obama administration people still pushing out junk science on gun issues - Crime Prevention Research Center

There are basically four reasons that their results are different from what others have found.

— They have coded the adoption and end dates of waiting periods and background checks quite differently than others.

— One of the most profound differences is that this paper assumes that all waiting periods are the same. But waiting periods can vary from 2-days to 6 months, though during the period of this study a lot of states had the 5-day Brady Act waiting period. Does it make sense to assume the impact of waiting periods is the same across states no matter how long the waiting period is? Dr. Lott’s work has always tried to account for the

— No explanation is offered for why the paper just looks at homicides and suicides for those over 21. Implicitly they are assuming that gun control regulations are impacting homicide and suicide rates for those over 21 relative to those younger than that. There is also the issue of why they look at homicides and not murders. Homicides includes murders plus justifiable homicides. Waiting periods could reduce the number of justifable homicides, but it isn’t obvious why anyone would consider that to be a good outcome.

— The control variables are quite different than other research. For example, economists and criminologists try to explain crime rates (homicide) by accounting for policing and prison. For suicide, often left out suicide rates are included as control variables. In this case, since they seem to believe that the gun control regulations primarily effect those over 21, they could use suicide rates for those under 21 to help explain suicide for those over 21.

Bottom line.

— If one believes these results, they usually show that benefits from waiting periods (though not always statistically significant), but they also consistently show no benefits and frequently significant costs from background checks.

— In Table S6 where they account for all the gun control laws that they have in their regressions, while waiting periods reduce homicides, background checks tend to increase total suicides. Over the 1970 to 2014 period, the number of lives reportedly saved from waiting periods reducing homicides, is almost exactly offset by the increase in total suicides from background checks.
