    Actually, he doesn’t address it. He questions the semantics, not the conclusions. I imagine every single one of those reports/papers has a methodologies section with citations and what not.

    You’re back. We missed you.

  3. Metulj Says:

    I’ve never been away. I looked at you everyday while I was in Budapest, etc. Anyhow, what exactly does that linked article say? I don’t necessarily agree with the studies he claims to be refuting, but questioning age categories is not rational discourse.*

    *Which is isn’t really…

  4. SayUncle Says:

    I dunno, like, maybe how the data paints a different story than the study? the fact the states aren’t equally considered. Japan.

    But then, I’m no academic so what do I know.

    If you read the rest of the blog, I do question the conclusions, hence the linking to and discussion w/ Gary Mauser over the correlations. I point out that it’s not CCW holders that are committing crimes so his correlation to them and increases is false. I point out that he selectively removed the highest crime demographics to skew his numbers and claim more correlation.
    I also address his conclusions on what “may” and “would” reduce crime levels based on his use of loaded terminology, changes of topics, and incorrect “facts”.

    […] It’s almost not sporting anymore, but TP thoroughly eviscerates the intellectual dishonesty from the VPC’s favorite pseudo-source. TP holds his own in comments as well. […]

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
