This PDF is a long read—40 pages—but it makes an important point......that gun control advocates pick researchers who will review the data from a public healthcare perspective, while criminologists and economists both tend to be very skeptical of the methodologies of the public health sector.
I’m only a few pages into the paper so far, but if I had to distill it down so far, I’d say that the public health sector starts with the premise that guns in America are a public health problem, and then they cherry pick their numbers to support their preconceived conclusion.
Criminologists and economists start with the question: are guns in America a public health crisis? They then follow the data wherever it takes them. Of the two, economists are even more likely to be skeptical about different proposed gun legislation than criminologists—and both groups are more skeptical than public health researchers. Why? Because the numbers don’t support the health sector's conclusions.
Anyway, I saved a copy of the PDF to my drive, and I’d recommend doing that. This is an invaluable tool in debating with the gun grabbers.

The facts are readily available. If any honest, moral person cares about facts, they don't support gun control laws.
There are two types of people who support gun control laws. Evildoers who want disarmed victims and useful idiots.
