    Harvard study finds that Obama is wrong

    Considering Obama obviously didn't listen in his Constitutional law classes I guess we can assume he will ignore this study as well.

    Harvard gun study concludes gun bans don?t reduce the murder rate

    In fact, it appears, bans may actually see them increase.

              Did anyone read the report?

              http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/...useronline.pdf

              Very strange. It's a very well written report that is forty pages long, but only discusses gun violence and murder rates in Europe yet does not include England which seems to have a lower murder rate than all other countries in Europe. At the same time this report fails to compare stats from South America, where gun crime is unusually high.

              Then at one point the article states:

              "Americans are more likely to be shot to death than people in the world’s other 35 wealthier nations."

              Interesting.

              On one hand it's the most detailed report I've ever seen (I haven't read it fully obviously). On the other hand, it seems to be cherry pick stats

              It's obvious that crime is dropping in the US, and has been for some time. I am not sure if this is because of gun control. I think it's more because of better police work - it's just so much harder to get away with shit now because of DNA and other such technology.

                  If you have a country where guns are banned and a criminal is stupid enough to carry one, they will have the whole city's police on them in literally hours and be in a cell by the end of the day with a 5 year jail sentence attached.

                      I don't have an interest in a fight, but someone should point out that the mass shootings that I'm sure Obama was referring to were pretty much all done by law abiding citizens. Until they decided / went nuts and had their shooting spree tantrums. So naturally, just like all laws and rules about anything under the sun, they only apply to people who aren't set on breaking them anyway.

                          i dont want to argue pro or against guns here - i would just like to say that i am really surprised that this study is supposed to be done by the Harvard university. Probably by their janitor.

                          They mention Germany as a country with significant gun ownership - yet in Germany your guns and ammunition have to be locked separately when at home, you cannot carry in public unless you get a license that is really hard to get (either you are in the security business or prove that your life is at risk) and to be able to shoot, you have to be in a club or be a hunter (again: with a license that takes months of studying and theoretical and practical tests)

                          seriously: if any "scientist" was involved in that study, he needs to be bitchslapped

                          And Luxembourg? Seriously? Luxembourg has 500k people, if 2 people are killed per year the rate is already higher than in all other European countries

                          that "study" is a joke...

                          but one of guys who wrote it has the last name "Mauser" - his family probably produces the guns, i wouldnt be surprised

                              Illegal guns start as legal guns. It's not like there's some factory making black market weapons. England has less murders because its not a gun culture. There's less guns circulating through the system, whether its legal or illegal -- because they're not gun crazy motherfuckers over there.

                              We had to take our freedom from them, so it makes sense we're still holding on to the right to bear arms.

                                      Yeah, because the threat of jail has been so effective with assault, robbery, fraud . . .

                                          It's up on the Harvard website, although... For all we know it's a homework assignment put together by a first year student. Well, a very well put together homework assignment.

It's very well put together, and compares gun deaths between the US and Europe. However, it's leaving out the UK which has pretty much banned firearms yet has a low gun violence rate. At the same time, the study fails to compare South America (lots of guns, lots of gun violence) and also Asia.

It's a project written by an undergrad for their student newspaper, and then republished by Hotair.com (which is a right-wing "news" site) as some definitive study by Harvard itself. It's a fucking homework project by a Young Republican student, 20 seconds of 'research' will tell you that.

Even if you are completely unbiased, your stats will portray one set of facts or another - and there will be other stats that say the direct opposite.

It's a project written by an undergrad for their student newspaper, and then republished by Hotair.com (which is a right-wing "news" site) as some definitive study by Harvard itself. It's a fucking homework project by a Young Republican student, 20 seconds of 'research' will tell you that.

                                                                                                      onwebcam is pretty much incapable of evaluating the source of any of these stupid stories he presents as fact. Why the fuck there are so many nutjobs lacking critical thinking skills on here, I just don't get.

                                                                                                      Jesus christ you obviously didn't do your research good enough.

                                                                                                                                      I?m sure the study is just fine, but before you start throwing the Harvard name around, you should expect to be hit back with the fact that the HJLPP is a conservative/libertarian legal journal.
                                                                                                                                      Whatever the merits of the study, it is simply inaccurate to call it a ?Harvard gun study.?

                                                                                                                                      It was published in a Harvard student-run journal, true, but the authors are from the Pacific Research Institute (a ?free-market think tank?) and Simon Fraser University.

                                                                                                                                      Mauser is a longtime foe of gun control and his PhD is in marketing, not criminology. Moreover, the journal does not seem to be peer-reviewed ? it?s a law journal run by law students, not a criminology journal edited by criminologists ? and according to its website it focuses exclusively on ?conservative and libertarian legal scholarship.?

                                                                                                                                      So there is definitely evidence that this article is somewhat driven by ideology.
                                                                                                                                      Considering who the OP is I am not surprised who is behind the report. Disseminating wacky stories that seem sound on the surface is what Libertarians do.

I am not sure if this is because of gun control. I think it's more because of better police work - it's just so much harder to get away with shit now because of DNA and other such technology.

You twisted stats around. We aren't discussing homicide rates, we are discussing firearm deaths. How many people are stabbed to death or poisoned aren't relevant in a conversation about firearm deaths.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Only if the cops in your little scenario are psychic. For the rest of the non-psychic cops out there, they generally have to wait for the criminal to actually use the gun or be seen with it, or have the criminal make a mistake in some way. You know, like shooting someone during a break-in who wasn't supposed to be there.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Cops don't have built-in gun radar.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Thus that point you say is 'stupid', really isn't.

You twisted stats around. We aren't discussing homicide rates, we are discussing firearm deaths. How many people are stabbed to death or poisoned aren't relevant in a conversation about firearm deaths.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Firearm death rates for the Swiss are 3.84, while the UK is only 0.25.

                                                                                                                                                                                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ted_death_rate
                                                                                                                                                                                      Umm the point in the study was to determine if gun bans decreased overall homicides. That would include stabbings, poisonings or plain ole beat downs. That is entirely the point that it doesn't matter if it's a gun or a knife if someone wants to kill someone they are going to do it however with whatever tools available. Sure a gun makes it easier to kill someone but it also makes it easy to protect yourself from that someone. If that someone knows that no guns will be around then they feel more secure in their killing spree which is why pretty much all of them have went into gun free zones. In fact the Aurora shooter drove past several theaters and out of his way to go to one that had gun free postings.
