How Anti-Gunners Manipulate the Data<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a constitutional carry state, you do not need any training or a permit to carry a firearm. The researchers claimed to have used \u201cadvanced statistical modeling\u201d to support their claim.<\/p>\n

The study looked at 34 states that made it easier to carry a gun between 1980 and 2019 and compared them to \u201cpredicted\u201d crime rates using data from \u201cmay issue\u201d states.<\/p>\n

Professor Cassandra Crifasi said,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cIf 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several factors make this study inaccurate, but let\u2019s look at the one that jumped out first. If you sort the data differently, you will get a different result.<\/p>\n

The researchers used \u201cadvanced statistical modeling,\u201d but\u00a0@AHistory<\/a>\u00a0pointed 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.<\/p>\n

Here are fifteen of the safest states based on factual homicide data, not \u201cpredicted\u201d crime rates.<\/p>\n

\"constitutional<\/a><\/p>\n

The researchers used the same old talking points that don\u2019t hold up under scrutiny. \u201cWhen states made it easier for potentially untrained gun owners to carry their weapons in public, assaults with guns increased.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of that can\u2019t be backed up with reliable data because what do they consider assaults?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the Supreme Court\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

This video from\u00a0@wethepewple<\/a>\u00a0tries to explain the confusion since the gun control groups seem to be using fussy math.<\/p>\n

Stricter concealed carry = safer? \ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n

S\/o to @2aHistory<\/a> for always dropping that \ud83d\udd25 data on schooling peeps on x\ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb pic.twitter.com\/pOoAAwv3Jp<\/a><\/p>\n
