Research shows gun shows have no affect

[red dirt ranger]

With closing the 'gun show loophole' on the agenda of the incoming Congress and President, gun owners need to be aware of a recent study from the University of Michigan and University of Maryland that finds gun shows do not affect murder or suicide rates. Arguments based in fact trump those of the anti-gunners based in emotion.

Here is a link to the University of Michagan's press release and there is a link to the actual report. Scientific research papers follow a specific format, if you don't want to read all the statistical gobbilty gook, just read the abstract and the conclusion.

And those are probably pretty anti-gun institutions, with Maryland being in maryland, and the university of Michigan being in Ann Arbor.
