@IsCool I’m more interested in studies like this (which still admit no causal inference) http://t.co/xUBCEWd2
@IsCool Duh, and if you ban cars there will be fewer traffic related deaths.
I’m not slacking off, my code’s compiling / being reviewed / running unit tests / running a MapReduce job / AWS is down / network problems!
@emilepetrone @akulbe “shot/killed by/with/via a gun” makes sense to me… not “guns murdered” My take on gun control: https://t.co/MF3JADsy
@emilepetrone Would you agree that Shaun was going for sensationalism since he said “GUNS murdered” rather than “PEOPLE murdered” people?
@emilepetrone @IsCool I’m saying that throwing out statistics without proper context is not a valid argument, it’s simply sensationalism.
@IsCool @emilepetrone Those numbers are meaningless without crime rate per capita statistics & stats of homicide via other weapons.
