Study Finds Right to Carry Increases Violent Crime

This is a follow up to an earlier study.

https://works.bepress.com/john_donohue/163/

Right-to-carry (RTC) laws are associated with higher aggregate violent crime rates, and the size of the deleterious effects that are associated with the passage of RTC laws climbs over time.
Ten years after the adoption of RTC laws, violent crime is estimated to be 13-15% percent higher than it would have been without the RTC law.

… t might be the case that some states decided to fight crime by allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns while others decided to hire more police and incarcerate a greater number of convicted criminals.
If police and prisons were more effective in stopping crime, the “no controls” model might show that the crime experience in RTC states was worse than in other states even if this were not a true causal result of the adoption of RTC laws.

As it turns out, though, RTC states not only experienced higher rates of violent crime but they also had larger increases in incarceration and police than other states…RTC states did not have declining rates of incarceration or total police employees after adopting their RTC laws that might explain their relatively bad crime performance.

Common sense, just having a gun present quadruples the chances that a gun will be used in a violent act, the overwhelming majority of gun violence is committed by a person that the victim knows, if you have a gun in the house you got a better chance of a family member shooting you than the stranger conservatives think they are protecting themselves from
 
I wonder if they did a study on unlawful guns also? I am certain more violence is created by the use of unlawful guns than anyone bothering to get a license.

If only gun owners wouldn't let their lawfully owned guns get stolen. We should ban gun ownership from everyone who's ever had a gun stolen.

Here's the bottom line on guns. Legal or not. You are more likely to be injured by your own gun than protected by it.
 
I see zero correlation here. Let's see the stats on those who have a permit as the actual causation, because every study I've seen show that those who have concealed carry are far, far less likely to commit a crime than those without.

Weak sauce here, very weak.
 
Gun grabbers lose every time. If you couldn't get gun control after six year olds got shot you never will. Give it up

Not true, states with stricker gun laws have less gun violence, and if you take out Vermont for obvious reasons, the opposite holds true, common sense, if a gun is around it is there for someone to use

I never said gun laws are constitutional crack head. Some limitations are. Some aren't. It all depends on the intent of the law
