How Anti-Gunners Manipulate the Data

Yesterday, researchers from Johns Hopkins said gun-friendly states have the highest rates of gun deaths. The problem with this statement is that ten of the fifteen states with the lowest homicide rates are constitutional carry states.

In a constitutional carry state, you do not need any training or a permit to carry a firearm. The researchers claimed to have used “advanced statistical modeling” to support their claim.

The study looked at 34 states that made it easier to carry a gun between 1980 and 2019 and compared them to “predicted” crime rates using data from “may issue” states.

Professor Cassandra Crifasi said, “If you graph all of the states in the U.S. by their rate of gun death from the highest to the lowest, a very clear pattern emerges.”

Several factors make this study inaccurate, but let’s look at the one that jumped out first. If you sort the data differently, you will get a different result.

The researchers used “advanced statistical modeling,” but @AHistory pointed out on X that ten of the fifteen states with the lowest homicide rates are constitutional carry. These states have some of the least restrictive gun laws since they are constitutional carry states.

Here are fifteen of the safest states based on factual homicide data, not “predicted” crime rates.

constitutional carry safest states

The researchers used the same old talking points that don’t hold up under scrutiny. “When states made it easier for potentially untrained gun owners to carry their weapons in public, assaults with guns increased.”

Part of that can’t be backed up with reliable data because what do they consider assaults?

“While the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision is forcing some states to weaken their concealed carry permitting systems, this study shows that states can reduce the expected increase in gun assault rates by including training requirements.”

This video from @wethepewple tries to explain the confusion since the gun control groups seem to be using fussy math.

 

Comment O’ The Day
Sporting rifle or ” weapon of war” – doesn’t matter. The very point of the 2A was to acknowledge that we possess the right to own & bear weapons = to those of the government/military in order to protect ourselves from tyranny

Happy 101th Birthday Eugene Stoner!

Indiana’s own Eugene Morrison Stoner cut his teeth in small arms as a Marine Corps armorer in World War II and left the world some of the most iconic black rifles in history.

Born on Nov. 22, 1922, in the small town of Gosport, just outside of Bloomington, Indiana, Stoner moved to California with his parents and graduated from high school in Long Beach. After a short term with an aircraft company in the area that later became part of Lockheed, the young man enlisted in the Marines and served in the South Pacific in the Corps’ aviation branch, fixing, and maintaining machine guns in squadrons forward deployed as far as China.

Leaving the Marines as a corporal after the war, Stoner held a variety of jobs in the aviation industry in California before arriving at ArmaLite, a tiny division of the Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corporation, where he soon made his name in a series of ArmaLite Rifle designs, or ARs, something he would later describe as “a hobby that got out of hand.”

Comparative Risks of Myocarditis and Pericarditis with mRNA, Adenoviral DNA, and Spike Antigen Vaccines
WHO VigiBase Gives Rare Look at Differential Risks

Early in the COVID-19 vaccine campaign people used to ask me “which vaccine is the safest?” Americans have never been given an analysis of comparative safety among the available COVID-19 vaccines. The US military, corporations, schools, and other entities mandating the vaccines never cared which one was taken. There was no interest in determining “the best” COVID-19 vaccine. President Biden infamously said “just get vaccinated.”

The US CDC has pushed the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines because their marketing firm Weber Shandwick has a promotional unit inside the CDC vaccine office in Atlanta. The NIH is the co-owner of the Moderna mRNA patent. The US government is among the top licensees of mRNA patents. This obvious corruption and conflict of interest has misled the country. Among Americans who took a vaccine, 94% received an mRNA vaccine.

Saint-Gerons et al reported on 61,812 cases of myocarditis, pericarditis, and myopericarditis in the WHO VigiBase and found all three major classes of vaccines have elevated risks, however the mRNA vaccines consistently are the most risky. However for pericarditis alone, the Spike protein antigen vaccine from Novavax had the largest point-estimate. Because of the small numbers, the measures of central tendency are a statistical blur and we must rely to a greater degree on confidence intervals. There were 61 cases of myocarditis/pericarditis with Novavax and none were fatal. While overall Novavax is probably the safest vaccine, I can tell you as a cardiologist, cardiac risks are too high for any heart specialist to recommend COVID-19 vaccination.

Finally found the vid the other post was referring to.
For Miss Bialik, (80s- 90s teen actor and an actual PhD researcher in Neuroscience) known for her liberal bent in politics, this seems to be quite the kick in the teeth for her to finally realize that the left never was her friend.
