Study: Stand Your Ground Laws Increase Homicides

[DanTex]

11. Two things:

First, as I pointed out in the other thread that linked here:

Briefly, in studies like these, they attempt to estimate the difference between the amount of homicide in states where the law changed versus the amount that there would have been without a change in policy. They do this by building statistical models that take into account national and local trends, crime rates in states without policy changes, and other factors that affect homicide rates, in order to isolate the effect of the policy changes.

Second, it's always funny going back to these older gungeon threads to see the right-wing trolls from the past. I wonder what screen names these guys are using now?
