Playing with ChatGPT — firearm availability and homicide rates…

So, I’m playing around with ChatGPT.  Since the recent church shootings resulted in libs pulling out their constant bete noir, of gun control, I thought I’d see if I could get it to chart number of guns in circulation versus homicide rate.  It was interesting that ChatGPT could not download and analyze CDC WONDER data, so instead it had me download it and then upload it to ChatGPT for the graph.

Here it is:

Three points shout out.

First, there’s obviously no visual  positive correlation between number of guns and homicide rates.  In fact it’s negative   The calculated correlation coefficients are

  • White: –0.75

  • Black: –0.69

  • Hispanic: –0.33

Hmmm….  now, in most studies, an r of -.75 would be pretty spectacular.  But, to the progs, it means the opposite of what one might reasonably infer.

Second, “something” happened in 2020, and it wasn’t a surge in number of guns.  Any ideas?  Maybe some stunningly totalitarian policies promoted by the progs?

Third, one has to wonder why the progs are sold that the “solution” is to take guns from the people in the green line…
