Having spent a lot of money on a prestigious study in order to promote gun control, the study ends up showing no effect! If these academics at Johns Hopkins and UC Davis were really committed Leftists, they would have altered the data to achieve a result, like so many other pro-gun-control studies.The Violence Prevention Research Program (VPRP) at UC Davis and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health conducted a study about the impact California's gun control laws have had on homicide and suicide rates over the last 10 years. And guess what? Researchers found that the Golden State's gun control laws had absolutely no impact. And, even more surprising, the study's lead researcher found that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is severely flawed.
"It compared observed annual firearm homicide and suicide rates in California over 10 years following enactment of comprehensive background check and misdemeanor violence prohibition policies in 1991 with expected rates based on data from 32 control states that did not have these policies and did not implement other major firearm policies during the same time," researchers explained in a press release.
Universal Background Checks are another example of government 'doing something' rather than 'solving a problem'.
