“ince 2003, the Joyce Foundation has paid grants totaling over $12 million to gun control organizations and for research into gun violence prevention. The largest single grantee has been the Violence Policy Center, which received $4,154,970 between 1996 and 2006, and calls for an outright ban on handguns, semi-automatic and other firearms, and substantial restrictions on gun owners”

Duh!!
Stupid link.
And talk about stupid links, Fusion’s graph takes the cake.
I think the rise in gun violence is a direct result of the breakdown of the family due to liberal causes.
It is obvious that it is the fault of gay marriage and the civil rights movement that there has been a rise in gun violence, which there isn’t because most gun deaths are from self defense.
Re: #40
Yah, the Harvard School for Public Health is well known for its inferior academics and statistical analyses.
Uh huh. Right.
#41, Perhaps he should define what he considers a “victim.”
Homicide is not always illegal. Self-defense killings are considered homicides as well.
His study shows deaths. Not murders.
Perhaps his terminology is confusing those who don’t consider shooting back at your attacker to be fair.
So, ah, according to you, the whole study is skewed because such a large proportion of gun homicides are actually self defense and not murder?
OK. Excuse my skepticism, and reality, Mr. NRA.

#43, So he gets a free pass for not distinguishing between legal and illegal homicide because by not doing so supports gun control?
That’s a laugh.

Oh, and the Hemmingway paper doesn’t say the statistics for gun self defense ARE misleading, he says the MAY be misleading.
So??
