When you adapt the measuring tool to fit your agenda, you make data say whatever you want.
Crap in = Crap Out
Crap in = Crap Out
He used some type of regression analysis which is slightly more robust than basic correlations but there are SO many confounding variables to control for (seriously? he controlled for crack as the only major confound?). I don't have time to read the other rebuttal article but I agree with the others:
Crap in = Crap out
You can make data fit your agenda if you have one. (This applies both ways).
ETA: from the article-
It PISSES me off when they say the data "Proved" something. Data can be used to reject a Null hypothesis (It happened by chance alone). Data does not "prove" anything, it just helps us better understand possible explanations.

I don't think it said proved anywhere. Claims, suggests, etc. No single study can prove anything.

It links the abstract in the article. Here is a link to the abstract:
LINK
"New Stanford research confirms that right-to-carry gun laws are linked to an increase in violent crime."
Close enough to "prove" for me.

Yea. Not scientific. Dumb.
Abstract doesn't even actually present the data. I'm too lazy to look over it but I'm sure it's shitty statistics. Very little about it seems subjective.
