@micnews @slightlylate this post confuses cause/effect. Gun homicide rates in the US & Australia fell at ~the same rate over the same period
@micnews @slightlylate please explain how the Australia cut guns & the US increased gun prevalence, yet both fell:pic.twitter.com/W8FFFgVEZ1
@micnews @slightlylate total violent crimes also fell at around the same rate in developed countries, and some *increased* their gun freedom
@micnews @slightlylate to anyone with eyeballs to view data, gun prevalence and violent crimes/homicides are not even weakly correlated.
@micnews @slightlylate the huge drop in crime/homicide that took place worldwide in the 90s had nothing to do w guns:pic.twitter.com/NYtPs9l6W4
@csuwildcat @micnews @slightlylate there is an hypothesis about lead poisoning; but mass shootings are different: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lead-crime_hypothesis …
@millermedeiros : yes!! I was about to mention the open research questions on overall violence (including lead)!
/cc @csuwildcat @micnews
@slightlylate @millermedeiros @micnews yes, at least I'm hearing some sanity from you guys: the metric is crime/murder rate, not tool use.
@slightlylate @millermedeiros @micnews please explain why many countries where gun prevalence/use has increased have falling gun murder #s
@csuwildcat: again, doesn't read on mass murder, but it could be that humans are complicated; multiple effects
/cc @millermedeiros @micnews
@slightlylate @millermedeiros @micnews absolutely, that's true, but it also doesn't mean less guns = less mass murder. Full stop.
