ArmedWithReason Gun Study Database

This database includes more than 100 academic studies that support our position and have at least an abstract available to the public. It is a work in progress. If you have any suggestions for further additions to the database or questions, feel free to contact us at [e-mail].

The site includes links to studies on homicides, suicides, assaults, accidents and other gun-related studies. Included is an interesting section titled "Defensive Gun Use and Concealed Carry (Debunking Kleck and Lott)".

1. Excellent! I look forward to looking at the different studies.

2. Just one excerpt

from the study: "Without Guns, Do People Kill People?"

"Sometimes, no doubt, a person who is intent upon killing someone seeks out a lethal weapon. Far more often, gun-inflicted deaths ensue from impromptu arguments and fights: in the US, two-thirds of the 7,900 deaths in 1981 involving arguments and brawls were caused by guns [unpublished data, Federal Bureau of Investigation]. These deaths would largely be replaced by non-fatal injuries if a gun were not handy. Thus, a far more appropriate generality would be that "People without guns injure people; guns kill them."

Another Second Amendment absolutist myth exposed -- people with guns DO kill people. Clever NRA/ALEC, Koch Brothers, right-wing word play can not change that fact.

4. Are you sure that

you're posting on the right Group?

5. Why

6. I've seen some of

your posts in the RKBA Group, and it appears that you don't agree with the tenets of this safe haven pro-gun control Group. Just wondering why you keep posting here.

7. I have posted 8 posts in that other forum

I think I have posted just as many here. I don't think I have ever posted anything pro gun. On the other hand I have stated on a number of occasions that there need to be stronger gun laws and/or stronger enforcement of the laws already on the books.

ETA I see a number of posters in this forum post over there as well, do you ask the same question of them?
