"Attempted Robbery Near Goudy School Turns Fatal When Victim Shoots Robber"

23. So, how do you propose to scientifically study "unreported incidents"?

On the other hand, it is an easy way to dismiss information that doesn't say what you hoped it would.

But cheer up, the Michael Bellesiles "scientific method" of analyzing firearm related numbers still has a lot of followers on DU. Not so much in academia though.

Sorry the CDC isn't good enough to meet your standards for statistical methodology credibility.

Oh, and I never said the CDC was an NRA Shill.

I facetiously said the President was, since anyone who says or does something that even vaguely supports gun ownership, they're dismissed as just another NRA Shill. His personally directed study just wound up delivering the "wrong" kind of information, so it had to be aggressively ignored.

Note that the report received almost no publicity at all, no White House presser, no formal launch and was buried as quickly as possible. It just didn't say what they wanted it to say.

But it really doesn't matter that much anyway since, as noted previously, it's the law of the land and a personal choice for the law abiding, whether the "studies" support it or not.

Still waiting for that promised concealed carry bloodbath we were all guaranteed, as each state passed the laws..
