The 'Science' behind the Gun Control debate
I had this forwarded to me today, and found it a very interesting video. I'm sure that the application of science and research in regards to public policy in other areas is just as faulty, for the same reasons.
https://youtu.be/PgiQ-LmJGMY
And the use of poor research and faulty conclusions is done from both sides of any argument, it isn't just 'them' using poorly acquired 'facts' to support their position. It's the classic echo chamber and confirmational bias we all should be aware of, and suspicious of. Regardless of any position you take on any issue.
It's almost like science has been pushed for political purposes...call me surprised. 😏

Sounds like a topic that belongs in the Politics thread...

They keep repating the lie until it becomes the truth.

So, which one are you taking? 
OT- There has never been any science behind the socialist agenda to disarm all civilians, they are simply following the UN mandate that was laid out in 1973.
Time is on their side; wait long enough and people forget their plan.
Enjoy the decline.

Ain't that the truth...everything including gun control, covid, climate, racism, religion, gender, you name it, politicians pick a cause and claim "science" is on THEIR side.
Giving "science" a bad name.

Science has never been a factor in firearms legislation, it always has been, and always will he about politics and control. And if a government thinks that it needs to disarm the population to keep control, the population should never trust that government
