You appear to accept a lot of studies at face value. I have to admit that I stopped reading gun related social science studies roughly a decade ago. That's when I realized that a growing majority were financed by gun control groups, left-leaning state governments and left-leaning foundations. Many were conducted under the auspices of left-leaning universities. The results were predictable and you didn't have to be a statistician to see how the studies were designed and data was distorted to reach a politically motivated conclusion. Has this area of research cleaned up its act? How do you decide if a study was conducted and analyzed in an unbiased way? Have you thought about including footnotes in your articles? - Thanks for your time!
It’s interesting that you interpreted my post that way because my primary point was to show that most studies that seek to show a relationship between various gun laws and suicide rates don’t find strong correlations. I’m citing a lot of systematic reviews that include dozens of studies while also drawing attention to a few that may explain why we aren’t seeing the relationship with that some people predict, especially between ERPOs and suicides.
This post was also an experiment and I will let you in on what I was seeking to learn in a few days. It’s a secret that might prove your point in a way you did not anticipate!
