From the Department of Obvious Findings: More Guns = More Crime

Filed in National by on November 18, 2014

Contrary to gun-nut dogma, “right-to-carry” laws don’t reduce crime. They increase it.

“The totality of the evidence based on educated judgments about the best statistical models suggests that right-to-carry laws are associated with substantially higher rates” of aggravated assault, robbery, rape and murder, Donohue said in an interview with the Stanford Report. The evidence suggests that right-to-carry laws are associated with an 8 percent increase in the incidence of aggravated assault, according to Donohue. He says this number is likely a floor, and that some statistical methods show an increase of 33 percent in aggravated assaults involving a firearm after the passage of right-to-carry laws.

Makes sense. Guns make the weak feel strong.

    I read that this study has a confidence level of 10% and that the level of effect was unknown. Is that true?
