Three Separate 2018 Studies Found Zero Evidence That Universal Background Checks Prevent Gun Deaths. Someone finally got a clue that criminals don’t obey gun laws, or any other laws.
Back in November, we reported on one of these studies, conducted using data from the anti-gunner’s paradise, California. In that study (journal publication here), researchers studied firearm homicide and suicide rates in California before and after the Golden State passed its CBC law. Researchers waited 10 years to study the effects of this law, but in the end, “The study found no net difference between firearm-related homicide rates before and during the 10 years after policy implementation.” Oops.
