 Quite a few I've read about and even did studies on myself. You can find 4 images showing this across 4 countries as an example here: https://qoto.org/@freemo/103766692274567523 I can share many more examples if you'd like.. in fact the vast majority, with just a few exceptions of countries which banned guns show pretty much the same pattern. 9 comments
@freemo @protecttruth I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one actual war started (or continued) because of the embarrassment reaction. People are hard to figure. 😉 Its probably less about embarassment and more about wanting to appeal to the masses. @AndyLowry @protecttruth Wow I saw those charts it seems like banning guns gives criminals an unfair advantage against law abiding citizens hence more criminals using guns and more guns violence in general. Is that a fair assessment @freemo? @voidabyss @AndyLowry @protecttruth @freemo the graph's do not show banning guns, does not represent violence involving guns, and do not mention who the perpetrator and victim are It does indeed show the banning of broad classes of guns (handgubs). So id say its more than close enough @voidabyss @protecttruth @freemo @freemo @AndyLowry @protecttruth these images don't show causality and your explanation of Granger Causality is at best incomplete https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granger_causality Of course its incomplete, this is social media afterall. It took me a life tine of study to become an expert on this subject, so that cant be conveyed in full over social media. But yes it does test for predictive causality. Which is a fancy way if sayibg does the existance of one event (gun law changes) predict another event (change in homicide). This is usually what we mean when we talk about causality. |

Thank you sir! That's really interesting; I'll look at the numbers here in a minute. 🙏
