An analysis of thousands of gun control studies claims that just 63 of those studies found connections between more stringent gun control laws violent crime and suicide reductions.

The non-profit RAND corporation spent two years and $1 million on the analysis, searching for evidence of benefit from gun control policies. RAND’s analysis looked to establish connections between gun policies and rates of homicide, suicide, self-defense gun use, hunting, and other categories. The vast majority of those categories went unaffected by legislation, however, according to NPR.

  1. Yet we will trudge forward with the irrational and the illogical, knowing that our plans are expensive and they will accomplish nothing saying, "We've just got to do something." Well, how about this something, "arrest Sheriff Israel."
