I know your doing a Masters Degree. That's why I can't understand why your being so dense about something so simple.
Once again... The study i am using is an inter population study. This controls for a lot more then the study you are using.
Therefore it is a lot more reliable. There are much less confounding variables. You know what a confounding variable is right?

Yes, I know what a confounding variable is thank you very much.
Your inter population study is your typical response Kasz. The initial argument wasn't about inter population gun crime, it was about international gun crime, you used the inter population argument to distract from the initial argument like you often do.

Actually the original article was on interpopulation gun crime.
But laying that aside... it's not being used to "distract".
It's being used to show that your international gun crime argument doesn't hold any merit.
Which said study actually does show.
The only difference between my graph and yours is that mine controls for more variables. It disproves your graph by showing that when you elimiante some confounding variables you find that there is no statistical evidence.
For example. Culture.
If your thesis had any merit said hypothisis would be seen in the inner population study.
Since it doesn't, the only logical conclusion is that your thesis is wrong... and the increased murder rates in the US are caused by something else. Likely one of the confounding varaibles.
Like say... Culture.

How does your study hold more merit? You got your study from a blog called novatownhall. It is a bias gun loving website who cherry pick statistics to try and prove their own bias opinion. If I went to uni and submitted a thesis using the source you gave me it would be completely disregarded by my peers. |
They didn't collect any of the data.
The data are official sources. All they did was graph it.
See the above example of wearing red and getting angry as the reason why it is more accurate.
It holds more merit because it's more statistically sound.
I mean hell. I don't own a gun, and I don't want to own one.
I simply go where the statistics lead.
