Harvard Study: Gun Control is counter productive

[DanTex]

10. LOL. I highly doubt that you know how to calculate a correlation.

But it's not necessary for you to do it. Other people have studied this question, calculated the correlation, perform statistical significance tests, and published their results in peer reviewed journals. And guess what? There's a correlation.

Other scholars have found a correlation between gun ownership and homicide within the US:

PS. After you posted the Kates-Mauser article and called it a "Harvard study", you are in a very bad position to be accusing others of cherry-picking their data. I mean, Kates and Mauser didn't just cherry-pick -- they actually used false data!

My suggestion is that you actually go to the Harvard Firearms Research group website I pointed you to and read some actual peer-reviewed Harvard studies.
