The conclusions drawn from gun research/information out there for all to see are often conflicting and often subjective. But, I like reading it all and find the objective raw data the most interesting. I'll read the report you linked when I get some uninterrupted time; I've only read a section of it before. Thanks for posting it.
Most recently, I read a report debunking the idea that mass shooters choose gun-free zones because they are soft targets. I would be interested in that report.
The report you linked stipulates that it's based on international data and "some" domestic evidence; it's almost 8 years old with many of its cited sources dating back decades.
I don't think 8 yrs is that long ago but that's OK
If we had dedicated expert researchers on the case, it would help in crafting effective policies based on objective evidence and conclusions. I suspect some long-held assertions on both sides would be proven false.
Was the report not from a certifiable source? Although its the only one I could find that objectively looked at the issue.
Hopefully the reading gives you some insight into the issue.
I love reading your posts and most of the time your links and reports are reliable. thanks!
