Top Shot?

Could be the one, sounds familiar.

Is it safe to say that if you are a good marksman, you have gun control?
Is this the gun control we are talking about. Maybe more classes and ranges to practice so we as a country have more gun control.

Not sure if this point was made in pages 1-86, but I'm always impressed by people with excellent gun control.
I watch that marksman competition show sometimes and am amazed at what they can do.

We need moar control!

While it's actually "people control" we're discussing, they (you know who they are) don't like to call it that.

Now let's not go all urban legend and how every vacant elementary school is being retrofited as a gulag re-education center for seniors. That's not going to happen.

It's not cost-effective. . . . .

We already know how to operate on an upbeat tempo with drug rehabilitation centers and senior care centers. . . .

what we need is a study of people who do studies on guns.

Hopefully, the NRA lobby won't focus on passing legislation to prevent such studies from being conducted.

apparently, on the other side of your blinders.

By all means, point to where there was some study of the difference in danger increase between carrying a gun as a civilian and as a gangster.

Yes, the previous 84 pages of this thread.

Any particular posts in that range, relating studies as opposed to anecdotes?

No, nothing on there about why engaging in a criminal act increases the danger gun-carrying as opposed to being not being engaged in a criminal act. Since the first link was empty, I don't feel the need to search the rest. You claim the evidence exists, you provide it.

You can probably find anything you are looking for in those 84 pages. All the way from links to articles and research to youtube videos. But if you refused to pay attention to it all the first time why would now make a difference?

There is a paucity of research on gun violence, due to a federal law that forbids many types of federal funds from being used to study it. So, I find it unlikely such studies were referred to in the previous 84 pages.

By contrast, the ban on such research was mentioned in those pages, yet, you seem to have missed it. So, perahps a person can legitimately miss a post without it being prejudice?

There's plenty of research on gun violence, but it so happens that the research is private.
Mostly because the federal government could really care less what the numbers actually are.
They know all too well that gun violence has almost been cut in half over the last 20 years, despite gun ownership exploding.

The primary population responsible for committing gun violence has also been on the decrease over the last 20 years, which has no relation to the explosion of gun ownership.

So if it is already decreasing and taking care of itself why the need to take rights away?

Wonder if its true.

Whether or not the two are directly related is completely irrelevant.

Gun violence has decreased while gun ownership has increased. Conclusion: Guns aren't the problem.
