http://michigantoday.umich.edu/2008/10/gunshow.php?tr=y&auid=4120554 Gun shows do not increase homicides or suicides by Jared Wadley October 1, 2008 email | print | respond A new study finds no evidence that gun shows lead to substantial increases in either gun-related homicides or suicides. The University of Michigan and University of Maryland study also shows that tighter regulation of gun shows does not appear to reduce the number of firearms-related deaths.
now that we know this the government can take the people who work the gunshows and send them into the high crime areas of the major cities. i think cops and feds should work the high crime areas. or is this profiling?
I wonder how much tax payer money went into that study? But what sticks out to me is one word - SUBSTANTIAL. This is giving the antis what they want, because it does not say A new study finds no evidence that gun shows lead to any increases in either gun-related homicides or suicides. Or something of that nature. But hey, that's just me reading between the lines
Just thought it was another one of those "well DUHHH....." studies.But, I guess common sense and definitive proof are not the same thing.
Tango, Commonsense hasn't been around in years, it left about the same time all of the "zero tolerance" BS came about.
Actually might even predate zero tolerance by a bit. IIRC, PC came before zero tol. I'd say common sense left around then. (YMMV)
Someone want to send this study to the ENTIRE STATE ASSEMBLY OF CALIFORNIA? This might wake them up, jus' a lil' bit.
Estimado legislador de California, Armas no matan gente, las personas matan a las personas. Ir a mostrar un arma y dejar de actuar como un montón de idiotas, Atentamente, Survivalmonkey
