1. So people who don’t have a gun are less likely to threaten someone with a gun? That correlates with the study that people who don’t have any chewing gum are less likely to chew gum.

2. Keep the money coming. We’ll keep on studying. It’s that simple.

3. I’ve read that the probability that a person with mental illness is just about as likely to be violent as any average person. What this means to me is that I have to be wary of everybody.

   I would like to see some data about mental health patients who are or have been taking SSIs or similar drugs. You know, the ones that have the printed insert warning of thoughts of violence, self-harm, and suicide. Those drugs.

4. Like any other study done by some fucked up university liberal “think tank” to paraphrase General Patton…’they know less about actual gun violence than they do about fornicating”!

5. They don’t want to admit that shootings are related to mental illness, because most shooters are democrats or children of dems.

6. C’mon. The doctor’s name is Yu Lu.
   He cannot be taken seriously.

   He’s a lot of fun at door ways though
   After you, Yu. No no. After you. This can go on for some time.

7. So they don’t support Red Flag laws, then? Well good. So how do they explain that guns are LESS accessible than any time in our history, and yet shootings seem to be increasing?

8. To repeat the obvious:

   We don’t have a gun violence problem.
   We have a violent subculture problem.

9. Another “study” where the conclusion was written before the first data point was even collected.

10. BTW that Study Finds website is pretty interesting, but they just repost studies from other sources.

11. I guess the major factor in motor vehicle collisions is the availability of cars, since in 100% of crashes, someone had access to a car! This is brilliant! The number one common factor in airplane crashes is someone had access to an airplane! This is fun!

12. My guns used to sneak around, whispering constantly and playing with speed loaders, clips, and magazines. I never saw them do any of this, or heard them, but I KNOW they are cozening little shits. I gave them all to a gun buyback program and got a Wallyworld Gift card for 10 whole dollars. I once found a fully loaded revolver in my drawer sitting beside A FULLY LOADED SPEED LOADER! That was the last straw.

13. What’s wrong with the study? It’s fascist bullshit.

    We don’t need no stinking studies. We have common sense. And a 2A.

    I know the answer, mentally ill holding guns? Many illegally and in violent cities?

15. So how do they account for Mexico with nearly a hundred murders a day taking place, mostly from guns, and where guns almost totally illegal for anyone to own except a very rare few that have special permission?

16. GUNS! MAGAZINES! (hopefully not titty magazines!) CLIPS! (hopefully not the CLIPS I use on my fucking BAGS OF CHIPS!)

    SPEEDLOADERS! (Wow, I used to be 14 — I could SPEEDLOAD then, too..)

    Assholes.
