(20,709 posts)Whether there is a correlation or not is something that can be addressed statistically. I posted a bunch of peer-reviewed studies above which examined this exact question, and you chose to ignore them, understandably, because they found that there is a correlation. I get that your politics require you to not believe in the scientific evidence. That's very common among conservative causes -- think creationism, global warming. But for you to simply assert "there is no correlation between gun ownership and crime" is no more persuasive than simply asserting "there is no correlation between CO2 emissions and global temperatures".
Also, posting a propaganda article from a right-wing law review and calling it a "Harvard study" does your cause no favors. Especially when the actual Harvard studies that come to the opposite conclusion.
