New study came out. The study finds that bans on modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines do not impact violent crime according to this study. However, the study also found a universal background checks were associated with a 14.9% (95% CI, 5.2–23.6%) reduction in overall homicide rates, violent misdemeanor laws were associated with a 18.1% (95% CI, 8.1–27.1%) reduction in homicide, and “shall issue” laws were associated with a 9.0% (95% CI, 1.1–17.4%) increase in homicide. These laws were significantly associated only with firearm-related homicide rates, not non-firearm-related homicide rates. The study was behind a paywall and cost 40 dollars.

You just saved the HI state government a ton of 💰!  😂

Nah, they will still do their own study because they love to do studies and are stupid.

.

Why do you think they are creating their gun violence center? Answer: so they can officially ignore studies like this.

Well, they won't ignore the parts of the study that concluded that certain restricting laws are "good". They may focus on those and "create" more "research" to reinforce those particular conclusions, since, if you read the "supplemental" info to the "study" they list all the contradictory prior research... all of which, including the one cited above, only come to the conclusion that there is "an association" and NOT "causality".

If you read the study, it has a LOT of "problems"... but I'll have to wait for Dr. Lott to lay those out...

Well, Dr. Lott still hasn't posted anything on his website yet detailing many of the faults of this bogus study, but he did appear for 14 minutes on the Dana Loesch NRA-TV show with at least one example of how the study is "rigged", by choosing the date at which to start analyzing data, which turns out was years after many states had gone to shall issue ccw... but I'll let him attempt to explain. (He suggests that the study is really an attempt to begin the focus on the process of peeling back the extent of carry in public...) I'm guessing that a comprehensive article explaining all the deceptive and/or invalid methodologies of the study would require many pages, and many hours to create. As is often the case, Lott seems almost tongue-tied and perplexed at times because the whole thing is so preposterous that he really doesn't even know where to start, nor how to adequately explain to non-statisticians why it is so so so wrong. I feel for the man, I really do. He has an almost impossible job.


NRATV | John Lott: Study Shows "Assault Weapons" and Magazine Bans Do Not Lower Homicide Rates

Also he has a very valid point re right-to-carry being blamed on elevated gun violence rates. A study worth it's salt should be looking at the specific actions of people who are following the law, because there are too many other factors that are correlated with criminal behavior. I suppose people could get used to seeing more guns in public, allowing criminals to get away with carrying because people are less likely to report them, but that's very difficult to prove especially since there's little point calling 911 in many areas with elevated crime. Too bad about the pay wall.
