have not read through all the 10+ year old data used in this article,but here is some feedback ta glance.
Factoid 2. Uses data that bunch all gun related deaths, without differentiating police killings with firearms, and/or justifiable homicide, simply to push the view of gun deaths. Overall murder rates however would be a much more accurate depiction of weather those states are SAFER. The author of course does not care about murders of course, they count any death by a gun as something that is bad even if it was used to stop a crime.
Factoid # 4. A mass shooting is categorized a s a shooting where 4 or more people are killed by a gun. If the killer is himself killed or stopped before he can kill 4 people, the instance is not called a mass shooting, so the zero number is meaningless. ice try though.
Factoid number five. If your read the study, you will see that those study’s did not differentiate legal versus illegally owned firearms. They just massed together all shooting across 3 cities and called it gospel.
Factoid #7 Not even worth talking about. It does not even address instances of woman using guns to defend themselves, or talks about rape and murder among female gun owners
Factoid # 10. This info has been proven 10 times over to be faulty. That study was done over a decade ago, by random phone surveys involving about 200 people. There is no evidence to prove that private face to face sales are that high.
