Hmmm...Massachusetts gun control laws had no impact on gun crime rates.....who saw that coming? Well, we did........

[2aguy]

A study shows that all of the gun control laws, on top of all the other gun control laws, piled on top of the other gun control laws in Massachusetts......had no impact on their gun crime rates.....

You know, since criminals don't obey gun laws.....

Where I found the first story....

Inconvenient studies get buried by the media

Studies that show gun control doesn't work don't make the press, but if it shows the opposite? That's a whole other story.

Where they found the story.....

Massachusetts gun-control legislation had no impact on violent crime rates

The new gun control measures did not have a "consistent effect" on reducing rates of murder or manslaughter, assault, robbery, and rape.

www.studyfinds.org

A team at American University analyzed the impact of one such measure in Massachusetts and found stricter background checks and licensing policies made little to no difference in curbing violent crimes.
-------

How is Massachusetts cracking down on gun ownership?​

Massachusetts passed new background check requirements for firearms sold at gun shows or through private sales. Lawmakers also created changes to firearm regulations by adopting new gun licensing procedures in 2014. The new law went into effect in January 2015.

No ‘consistent effect’ on crime rates​

Using this approach, the research team was able to estimate, based on percentage of firearms licenses, that one to five percent of adult Massachusetts residents had a gunlicense.


However, results also show the new gun control measures did not have a “consistent effect” on reducing four types of violent crimes — murder or manslaughter, aggravated assault, robbery, and rape.

Notably, a one-percent increase in denied firearm licenses and denied firearm licenses following statutory disqualifications increased robberies by 7.3 and 8.9 percent, respectively.

But.......did these gun control laws prevent criminals from Mis-gendering their victims?

Actual story- Gun laws have no effect when they aren't enforced and the states next door still allow easy gun access.

You mean except for the fact that the states where the guns originate, have lower gun murder rates than the democrat party cities where they end up...you mean except for that...

Showing that it isn't guns that are the problem...it is the democrat party attacking and handicapping the police, and then actually refusing to press charges against actual gun criminals, and releasing known, repeat gun offenders over and over again...

Not guns, criminal control....and the democrat party does not want to control criminals....

Yes, rural areas have less crime... because no one lives there.

So why not let the Democratic cities ban guns if we want to?

Wrong......cities in Red states not controlled by democrats don't have near the gun murder democrat party cities have...

1) the democrats attack and handicap the police

2) they refuse to prosecute, or release, violent gun offenders....

These are the reasons they have gun crime....

They do not have gun crime because a normal person owns and carries a gun....normal people with a gun do not use them for crime or murder...

That you morons can't understand this is why democrat party controlled cities are covered in blood.

Yeah, you see, now most people would realize that it was Trump crippling the economy that caused crime to rise, but you go on with your fantasies that Johnny Law's delicate feelings were hurt.

Moron......the democrats and their pointless lockdowns crippled the economies in the states they control, as Red states are booming and blue states are dying......

But don't blame the Chinese...for some unknown fucking reason you love mass murdering socialists....

Uh, guy, Covid was shit show across the country, and the lockdowns were necessary.

I honestly think that Trump could have started World War III, and you'd pop out of the rubble screaming, "Hillary was a bitch!!!"

Okay, you tell yourself that, Buddy.

So why haven't you moved out of Chicago yet?

No...not really...far enough away from the democrat party policies...we are now experiencing shootings out here in the burbs as the gang bangers travel for shopping and entertainment....

Gee, that's a pity... too bad someone made it too easy to get guns!

Go ahead!

You'll all be easy pickings for the criminals who don't care about you're useless bans, rules, no gun zones, mag restrictions and laws. NYC it's almost impossible for someone to get a carry permit, Ill even worse and they are delaying FOID cards for years, hence no gun for for honest legal persons wishing to defend their families.

Chicago and NYC are gun lawed to death (many more dem cities) and how's the gun crime doing there? Chiraq number one again.

NYC has always been ridiculous. 25 years ago my ex lived there. Her father had a few legal registered guns and the necessary paperwork. He had a heart attack and died. Guns had to be disposed of, couldn't even be inherited since they could not get legal papers.

A gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a household member than a bad guy, and 83% of murder victims know their killers. Guns don't make you safer.

Uh, no, guy. Chicago had a very sensible gun law. Then the National Rampage Association sued to overturn it and between 2014 and 2021, our murder rate doubled.

That would be....ya know.....NOT obeying gun laws....

Dambass.

Your murder rate doubled because you're a bunch of filthy criminal thugs at war with each other.

That cannot be by mistake. Rather, it's strategic. They want high gun crime so they can commie gun grab.

We need to repeal all gun laws forever.
