1. I'm betting the Stanford University study

Jan 2017

was done by public health types and wasn't peer reviewed. How are they "associated" when the rates have been decreasing as carry laws have been liberalized? Also, "associated" does not mean cause and effect, which is why anything public health types put out is usually junk science to begin with.
They forgot to mention in the FBI study that most mass murders are committed in places where citizens can't carry guns to begin with, and I would like to see the study.
A political opinion of a public official is of no consequence, although he was referring the open carrying of rifles.
