Overwhelming Majority Of Studies Find That Gun Control Policies Don’t Work

You might want to check the FL laws on domestic violence, the victim doesn't need to press charges, the State takes care of that.


.

True. States got really tired of having to clean up the mess after some woman with Stockholm's Syndrome kept refusing to press charges and ended up with her abusive husband/boyfriend killing her and her children. Most, if not all, of them now have laws allowing them skate right on past even asking if anyone wants to press charges. Unfortunately, the officers in question still have to actually do the work of hauling the offender in, and clearly, that's a big loophole.

Yep, the cops and FBI failed big time, but regressives don't want to talk about that.

I'll talk about it all you want . Yes they should've done more . At the same time , fla law makes it easy for nuts to get guns .

Really? In what way? Be specific. Feel free to refer to the website of all their gun laws which I provided you and which you continue to pretend was never posted.

Fine . Where was the post?

You have the same Internet I do, and the same capability to scroll backward. Or just Google "Florida gun laws", Mensa Boy. Do the research you SHOULD have done before you opened your big flapping piehole in the first place.

Speed limits work. Maybe not perfect - but they work. So do insurance requirements and motor vehicle laws. Seat belts?

Like gun control laws, speed limits work . . . only on the law-abiding. Or perhaps you haven't noticed the ever-present segment of society, whipping past you on the freeway as though you're standing still, because they have decided that the laws are for peons, not for them.

The problem is that liberals do not fucking care if gun control laws work. That's not the true incentive. Their true incentive is to tell voters they are victims and they must vote Democrat so the Democrats can save them from the BAD GUN OWNERS.

There ya go folks, the people snowflakes trust are saying gun control won't work:

Studies: Gun Control Has Little Effect | The Daily Caller​

An analysis of thousands of gun control studies claims that just 63 of those studies found connections between more stringent gun control laws violent crime and suicide reductions.

The non-profit RAND corporation spent two years and $1 million on the analysis, searching for evidence of benefit from gun control policies. RAND’s analysis looked to establish connections between gun policies and rates of homicide, suicide, self-defense gun use, hunting, and other categories. The vast majority of those categories went unaffected by legislation, however, according to NPR.

“Most of the effects that we were looking for evidence on, we didn’t find any evidence,” Andrew Morral, who lead the analysis.​

Did RAND look at Australia after they made gun law changes after a mass killing in 1996?

After looking at the study a bit, I think your thread title is misleading. The most common theme of the study seems to be that the data is inconclusive or limited. It would be more accurate, based on this study, to say that there is no clear evidence that gun control laws work. From the study: "For four of the outcomes we studied— defensive gun use, hunting and recreation, mass shootings, and officer-involved shootings—we found inconclusive evidence, at best, on the effects of any of the policies."

Here's a link directly to the study, although it's easy enough to get to from the Daily Caller page: Informing the Gun Policy Debate

The chart about whether particular types of gun laws may increase or decrease outcomes actually seems to lean toward gun control laws possibly decreasing negative outcomes.
