White House Study Finds Guns Save Lives: "Consistently Lower Injury Rates Among Gun Using Crime Victims"

I expect that a lot of eyebrows were raised at the White House when the CDC and others came to their conclusions.

I'm guessing that this thread may go nowhere probably because Obama himself mandated the study to be done via executive order - Trouble is that the findings don't necessarily back up the agendas of the proponents of Gun Control ...

(links to the study are provided via the article link posted - The main report from the CDC is roughly 130 pages)

Happy Reading
This article makes a lot of sense. What makes me sick are the policies of the rotten administration. Arm the radical islamics in Syria,who are exterminating christians, try to do everything possible to disarm honest americans. Whose side are they on anyway? I could go on and on.

My home is slowly getting safer and safer. Within the next 2 weeks, a 9mm will improve the safety further.

Something odd here, and I think we've got a few lying headlines.

First, I haven't read the article linked to in this thread (my work firewall won't let me go to a site with "poop" in the title), but I did read the one linked to by shooting4life. Then I linked through again and read the Harvard Study. A few things in the study didn't add up, so I did a little more searching and found out that the study was published over 6 years ago! Interestingly, the article in the Examiner is dated August 28, 2013, and states, "Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy has just released a study of the relative effects of stringent gun laws." Except the study was released 6 years earlier? What gives?

Is this thread talking about this same study? If so, unless Bush 43 commissioned it this was NOT a "White House Study".

The study was interesting and trashes most of the "facts" used by the anti-gun crowd (it also trashes a few "facts" used by the pro-gun crowd), but don't ruin a helpful bit of information by smearing it with lies.

Not sure what or where you are getting info...but it clearly states in the first page, "January 2013 obama wanted this study completed." No not the exact words, but close enough....

Don't forget that he is willing to talk to Assad and the new Iranian president, but refuses to negotiate with House Republicans.
