re: #668 b_sharp
I just got a tweet from a friend of mine who claimed that after Florida went with concealed carry crime plummeted.
I did a check on when CC started in Florida, 1987, and then compared gun murders from 1993 to 2010
I found stats on Florida gun murders from ‘87 to 93 but not equivalent time period for the US as a whole.
The US murder by gun numbers went from 17075 deaths to 11078, a 35% drop.
The Florida murder by gun rate over the same time period went from 1187 deaths to 987 a drop of 16.8%.Are there any RWNJs out there who do not promote spurious correlations?
They’re a big believer in the “lies, damn lies, and statistics” school.
