There’s even less of a correlation here: -0.006.
Now, I’ve noticed that when someone points out the lack of a correlation here, gun-control advocates are quick to jump in and say “but you didn’t control for this” and “you didn’t control for that.” That’s true. But what I do show here is that the situation is much more complicated than one would think from absurd claims like “states with fewer guns have fewer murders” and so on. Apparently, claims that new gun laws are commonsensical can’t be true if the relationship between gun laws and murder rates require us to adjust for half a dozen different variables. In fact, by looking at the data, I could imagine any number of other factors that might be more likely a determinant of the murder rate than gun ownership.
good comment from the story..
The wrong terminology is being used. The correct phrase is mass killing, not shooting. It's important because firearms are the preferred method in America, whereas arson, stabbing, et cetera are the preferred methods in disarmed areas.
When one sits down and adds up the amount of mass killings per capita a startling trend is noticed. There are less mass killings in America. There are 30 American mass killings every time Australia has 7 or Canada has 6. The multiplication factors of population are 14 for Australia and 11 for Canada. The math is very revealing in and of itself. You are three times more likely to get caught up in a mass killing in Australia and twice as likely in Canada. This is due to gun free zones.
Then there's another startling fact, as quoted from Mr. Gywn Dyer. America's non-firearm homicide rate is six times higher than in the above mentioned countries and there is a massive discrepancy of who does it based on skin color, which can be noted in the fact that 45% plus of America's inmates are non-Hispanic black, yet only 13% of the population is black.
Guns are not to blame for the higher homicide rate. Modern street culture is.
Liberals aren't fans of grade school math. It leads to uncomfortable questions
