Legal Firearm ownership is very low in urban America, and very high in rural America
Population is very high in Urban America and very low in rural America. And then, not all rural people own firearms as well. I will admit that most do but some don't. Meanwhile, MOST Urban households don't own firearms.
I was wondering where you and your little buddy was getting your data from. I finally found it. Lott and Mustards book that was largely discredited that made all the same claims you do. In fact, almost all pro gun writing since then have largely been based on that flawed book although none of them gives reference to it. Hate to break it to you but you have been sold a huge bill of goods based on a book that lied and whose main purpose was to sell a book, not stick with facts and real data.
You guys keep lying about Lott....and yet his research still stands the test of time.....
And it was Pew, not Lott, that showed that as more Americans own and carry guns the gun murder rate, the gun crime rate and the violent crime rate went down....supporting Lott's argument...
I just read the Pew report. it doesn't take a side one way or another. It just states who supports and doesn't support and who supports a little gun regulation. Really, nothing more. It doesn't go into who is right or who is wrong. It's non political. You are reading into what they are saying once again. Aren't you worried that many of us will research it? Well, we will.
As for lott, not one qualified person in the 90s and early 2000s found his book to be factual. it was debunked. I wondered where you get all your goofy ideas from. You aren't even aware of the source. Well, cupcake, now you are. It should make some really good reading for you. I read it and found it was entertaining and book selling. But when I researched his data I found his conclusions were flawed just like the other qualified people. But since you aren't qualified you might read it and actually believe it. Of course, it really needs a rewrite where it starts with "Once upon a time".
Yes....anti gunners said Lott was wrong...they couldn't prove that he was wrong...but they said he was wrong...a lot......
If you researched his data the way you researched D.C. v Heller, then Lott's finding are obviously dead on...
I already provided the Cites to show Lott was wrong. You can't get around that this easy. And the only thing Heller did was to prevent DC from messing with the handguns in the homes, nothing more. You are trying to do what Lott did and make people think it says something it doesn't. The more you do this, the fewer people will believe you and the fewer people will buy into the fears you are trying to spread. Since gun sales are way down, I guess people, as a whole, aren't buying into the "More Guns" routine anymore. They know it's a lie.
No...you haven't....they have never been able to prove Lott wrong, and in fact have been caught making up data to lie about his findings.....
