Some facts about carrying a gun. Quinnipiac University economist Mark Gius has published a new study, "An examination of the effects of concealed weapons laws and assault weapons bans on state-level murder rates," in the journal Applied Economics Letters. From the abstract: The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of state-level assault weapons bans and concealed weapons laws on state-level murder rates. Using data for the period 1980 to 2009 and controlling for state and year fixed effects, the results of the present study suggest that states with restrictions on the carrying of concealed weapons had higher gun-related murder rates than other states. It was also found that assault weapons bans did not significantly affect murder rates at the state level. These results suggest that restrictive concealed weapons laws may cause an increase in gun-related murders at the state level. The results of this study are consistent with some prior research in this area, most notably Lott and Mustard (1997). Intriguing. For more background: The most recent Reason-Rupe poll reports that 63 percent of Americans don't believe that stricter gun laws would keep weapons out of the hands of criminals. |

Here's the real story, from a study that didn't cherry pick the sites: The Straight Dope And as usual, the Gun Nuts weigh in with their own cherry-picked stories. The Gullibles on the US Right will believe anything, as long as it supports their position. |

Still campaigning for the title of Chief Gullible, Neut? You're in for a tough fight - Berton has piled up a big lead in the Climate category... |

The study shows you libs are the ones who have been spouting BS, carrying a gun makes the world a safer place.You can't accept that so you divert and insult. It's the same thing every time. |
