Thanks to you, I never look at these types of reports without noticing that we need to also check the overall murder rates plus the overall suicide rates. I wonder if maybe that's where we've gone wrong before. The "gun deaths" numbers include suicides.

That would suggest that there are other factors that the VPC didn't include in their "analysis". Nothing new when talking about findings from that group.<br /> But then if you look at population density, you see many states at the top of the list with a density even lower than Minnesota, such as Alaska. <br /> The VPC appears to be doing a version of Lott's study without resorting to math and titling it "More Guns, More Crime" ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-66520927676975219182015-02-01T17:40:22.908+01:002015-02-01T17:40:22.908+01:00...but not more murder.
