Re: when was the last time you missed the point of something...

[inevitableentresol]

Yes, from my limited understanding, if they introduced gun controls now in the US it would just drive the problem underground and make it worse, because the saturation level is so high. If they'd done it a long time ago, perhaps.

Also, yes, levels of gun ownership do not equate directly to levels of gun crime.

In another country, there was literally one gun for every three people but gun violence was practically nonexistent.

Isn't that Switzerland? They still have conscription and everyone in the people's militia keeps their guns at home. But they all also undergo regular firearms training which is mandatory. Plus, their society is just more regulated than most other countries would tolerate. So it's complicated, on a country by country basis.

In my country (Northern Ireland) gun control is very strict because of our history, and I'm glad of it. The UK generally is strict on guns. In most of the UK, and in the south of Ireland, the police don't generally even carry firearms which a lot of Americans can hardly believe.

The articles were frustrating though because the authors sucked at the very basic skills of semi-objective observation, critical analysis, and comparing/contrasting. They were dudes talking about their holidays. I wish I knew what grants they had so I could try to steal them.

A big problem is that most of the people talking about this subject have vested interests, and are as you say, unprofessional in their approach. Also, the political stakes are so weighted. Would anyone even take notice of proper research?
