I suspect the stupid Liberals will be crying themselves to sleep. Their precious oppressive gun laws that they want doesn't lower killings.
Study: ‘Assault Weapons’ and Magazine Bans Do Not Lower Homicide Rates
A study on state-level gun control laws in the U.S. shows that bans on “high-capacity” magazines and “assault weapons” do not lower homicide rates.
The study was headed by Boston University School of Public Health’s Michael Siegel and another listed study author was Harvard gun control advocate David Hemenway.
The study, The Impact of State Firearm Laws on Homicide and Suicide Deaths in the USA, 1991–2016: a Panel Study, isolated four states to study ten different types of gun control to see if certain gun controls were successful in reducing homicide and/or suicide rates. Via their research, they discovered that “high-capacity” magazine and “assault weapons” bans do not lower homicide rates.
That's because anybody can go outside the state line and buy it elsewhere. The laws banning weapons have to be enacted and enforced nationwide to have any impact at all.
Except...no.......Houston has a gun store on every corner, people can carry their guns everywhere, they are on the border with the Mexican Narco state with Cartel violence just across the border....and Houston has a lower gun murder rate than Chicago....that has zero gun stores and gun ranges.......
And, as more Americans own and carry guns over the last 26 years...our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%....so you are wrong on all counts....
