Three points shout out.<\/p>\n
First, there’s obviously no visual\u00a0 positive correlation between number of guns and homicide rates.\u00a0 In fact it’s negative\u00a0 \u00a0The calculated correlation coefficients are<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
White<\/strong>: \u20130.75<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Black<\/strong>: \u20130.69<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Hispanic<\/strong>: \u20130.33<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Hmmm….\u00a0 now, in most studies, an r of -.75 would be pretty spectacular.\u00a0 But, to the progs, it means the opposite of what one might reasonably infer.<\/p>\n
Second, “something” happened in 2020, and it wasn’t a surge in number of guns.\u00a0 Any ideas?\u00a0 Maybe some stunningly totalitarian policies promoted by the progs?<\/p>\n
Third, one has to wonder why the progs are sold that the “solution” is to take guns from the people in the green line…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Update:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In response to a comment from a colleague, I’ll point out that the Hispanic and White graphs have their own variability, you just can’t see them because the African American data sets the scale.\u00a0 Here is the White data with the homicide rate scaled from 3 to 7 rather than 3 to 45.<\/p>\n
