The Kleck study doesn't have any major methological problems. It has some minor ones that might cause some inflationary problems... though not on a major level... as i imagine paranoid people pulling their gun out repeatidly for no reason would end up getting arrested.

Either way it's currently the most methologically sound study on the matter.

What's odd is that Democrats are Pro gun control, and Republicans are anti-gun control.

Since gun control is attacking the issue of gun violence from a Supply side.

Either way we should be looking at good old Kensyian economics on gun control and work on it from the demand side... since there is absoultely no evidence that shows gun control is having any effect on crime.

People pushing gun control are wasting time solving the problems that cause crime. Considering all studies done on the last two major gun control laws have shown zero effect on anything... what's the point in pushing more laws other then a "gut feeling"?
