THE KING Posted April 9, 2020 at 03:52 PM Share Posted April 9, 2020 at 03:52 PM Well imagine that. Now it's time to do away with gun control. Apparently it doesn't work. Color me surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted April 9, 2020 at 04:59 PM Share Posted April 9, 2020 at 04:59 PM But they don’t say anything about relaxing any gun rules.So what ever they had in place in 2012 would still be in place, I’m wondering where they standing was in tough gun laws in 2012?

TRJ Posted April 10, 2020 at 02:13 PM Share Posted April 10, 2020 at 02:13 PM This is the treat the violence like a virus methodology. It looks better when you use a model like Oakland because the numbers are smaller. They only needed to harass the heck out of 400 people, the .005% most likely to keep shooting people. Assuming numbers track exactly (they really don't) applying this to a large city like Chicago would mean the cops have to harass the heck out of 13500 people who they single out as the direct causes of violence. The charts Gifford's uses are deceiving too. They use graphs to illustrate violence trends in large cities. The graphs are all sized equally, but the scale changes in very small type so it looks like the 100 shooting in Charlotte are just as bad as the 750 in Chicago. It's dishonest, and it ruins their credibility when the dishonesty is so transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
