This wasn't an independent study, or even a meta-analysis intended to draw conclusions from a broad swath of published research. It was a starting point, a guidepost, intended to direct federal research (pending the Dickey amendment being repealed) into gun violence

and of course none of this matters. the point is that the results support a conclusion contrary to gun control and further studies corroborate this result as well.

and even all of that is irrelevant because it is a constitutional right to own guns (for obvious reasons) regardless of whatever statistics exist or what the culture is. period.

this is the kind of argumentation tactic i was referring to in an earlier thread

Not without limit. Everyone agrees the 2nd amendment has some limits, we just disagree on where those are.

Here's your forest: our lax gun control laws are killing more Americans. We can reduce the number of Americans killed by enacting stricter gun control laws, and these laws would not violate the 2nd amendment.
