What exactly was your analysis of the correlation vs. causation regarding Blacks and guns?

IOW, what is your own TL;DR post summary to clear up any misunderstanding?

I did not make an analysis of correlation or causation as to "Blacks and guns." I was merely pointing out that the analysis is not as simple as more guns = more murders, so the USA sucks, which is the summary of what I was reading from the person who typed tldr. Essentially, he is not willing to examine the premises of his argument, even to spend 30 seconds reading an opponent's argument on a steroid forum. Any faulty premise can lead to a faulty conclusion.

It is interesting, however, in a post that compared England pre-gun control and England post gun control, other countries (Norway, Switzerland) and even states within the US, the only thing that caused a "trigger" was the mention of black Americans and their higher murder rate - and even that was clearly in context. The context was, hey, compare apples to apples. As could be seen from the Canada vs. US study I cited, Kellerman, the "gun control"-supposedly-unbiased-researcher for the CDC simply failed to control for race, leading to an incorrect conclusion to his study, which was that the gun control in the Canadian city resulted in lower murder rates. Once race was normed for the two cities, subsequent researchers pointed out that murder rates were lower in the US city. Would Kellerman be willing to concede that looser gun laws lead to less murders? LOL! Hardly (I have actually talked to him about this).

In either case were the gun control laws correlation or causation? Kellerman contended they were causation when the results went his way (when he failed to control for race). When they don't, well, it's just a correlation and does not mean anything, LOL!

I didn't think that was clear. That's why I asked. I hope we can all agree correlation does not imply causation.

Where's the media coverage? Or is Ted Cruz going to Cancun and not taking his dog a bigger issue?

 

[pigeonhed]

Where is the media coverage:

1. ABC = Vacaville Police ID suspect in killing of 2 women found dead in Vacaville apartment

2. CBS = Raymond Weber's Livestream Of Alleged Homicide Aftermath Stayed Up On YouTube For Nearly 20 Hours

3. NBC = Northern California Man Arrested After Livestream Shows 2 Bodies

4. People Magazine = Victims Allegedly Shot by Brother of Rapper Uzzy Marcus Identified as Fiancee of 1 Week, Teen Girl

5. Daily Mail (UK) = One of two women murdered by brother of rapper Uzzy Marcus identified

Not sure what type of coverage you want?

A country that has more gun shops then schools is a fucked up country. Go have a look at gun statistics in America and compare it to the rest of the world.

USA you are fucked up! Your constitution was written hundred years ago during the farwest, it's not the farwest anymore. Imagine living in a country where any average retard can own a gun and usually own multiple guns... Scary as fuck.

Oh noes they are attacking my constitutional right... Ahaha YOU HAVE MORE GUN SHOPS THE SCHOOL! 2021 and you still believe a gun is more important then education! Wake the fuck up

This is a non-starter with a dumbass premise. Liberal/socialist sensationalism. More auto repair shops than schools. More grocery stores than schools. More churches than schools. More restaurants than schools. More car dealers than schools. What's your fuckin point moron? There is none. Go back to making t shirts and bumper stickers.

I've seen no delivery of this crime draped across MSM tickers on my TV even once. Sure, go ahead and dig for your news online. It's there. You want to take an over under on the coverage rate if it happened to be a white perp? How about the recent shooting in Philadelphia? Why didn't that stay in the news? Because the perp wasn't fitting the MSM narrative of angry white conservative male. Let's see how this Louisiana shooting plays out. Kinda funny they haven't released this shooters info either.

Not sure what type of coverage you want?

I want the coverage to show who is doing what. I want race to be identified. I want the perps life history to be shown and examined publicly. I want this done for every shooting. Even if nobody dies, I want this info cataloged and displayed in an easily accessible format for the general public to see. I want the media to show what demographics are the real problems and show the things that correlate to the continuous issues.

They don't. They hide reality because it's not in line with the narrative.

What happened to the DEW strike on Christmas day? Fell off the map because the evidence couldn't be refuted. When was the last time a "domestic terrorist attack" that leveled half a city block just fell out of a news cycle without a second thought?

MSM purposely hides reality.
