[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC homicide is lower now than most years in the 80s-90s when the handgun ban was in effect.  I would say you have a point about the law if the homicide rate went up after the Supreme Court ruled.  But it hasn't.  What the PP said about mental health is very important.  Sadly this was how it was going to end for this woman gun law or not.[/quote]

Have you heard about analysis that involves controlling for other factors?  Factors other than the handgun ban are influencing the homicide race (changes in demographics, level of income etc.).[/quote]

A total distraction of an argument.

“Some kids are fast learners and some are slow.  So who cares if some get lead poisoned?!  Factors other than lead poisoning are influencing the mental disability rate- demographics, level of income, etc”.

Point is: guns kill people.  If there were fewer guns this mom would be more likely to be alive today.

Other factors contribute too.  That doesn’t change the fact that Republican Supreme Court justices made this horrible crime more likely.[/quote]
