And this is what the study’s author, Anupam Jena, had to say.
“The findings are quite obvious if you adopt the view that guns are inherently unsafe. If you reduce gun use even a little bit, then you should see reductions in gun injuries.”
So obvious that millions of Americans still can’t see it.
And just in case you need to know anything more about the NRA, have a listen to its national spokeswoman Dana Loesch, speaking at a meeting where there were survivors of the Florida school shooting.
NRA spokeswoman: "Many in legacy media love mass shootings. You guys love it… Crying white mothers are ratings gold to you…" https://t.co/zdMoiq3AIN pic.twitter.com/gXJ3bussp3
