Another Study States that Gun Control Law Effectiveness Studies are Ineffective

More whining about the studies.

Get this line:

Hahn and colleagues found that the five studies of the 1976 ban on handguns in Washington, D.C. and its effects on the city's homicide rate were inconclusive.

Yeah. Because just looking at the rise in crime rates in D.C. weren't telling enough. The studies couldn't figure it out either.

And this brilliant bit of logic.

Hahn says the task force found "no evidence for or against" the idea that handgun bans make it harder for residents of high-crime neighborhoods to protect themselves.

That is pretty much stunning in its complete lack of understanding of reality. I'm really hoping that it was taken out of context and really was referring to the studies not providing any evidence. But I won't hold my breath.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get to the original article. You have to pay for it.
