An analysis of thousands of gun control studies claims that just 63 of those studies found connections between more stringent gun control laws violent crime and suicide reductions.

The non-profit RAND corporation spent two years and $1 million on the analysis, searching for evidence of benefit from gun control policies. RAND’s analysis looked to establish connections between gun policies and rates of homicide, suicide, self-defense gun use, hunting, and other categories. The vast majority of those categories went unaffected by legislation, however, according to NPR.

“Most of the effects that we were looking for evidence on, we didn’t find any evidence,” Andrew Morral, who lead the analysis.

It's so self-evident that studies aren't even needed. Actually, restricting the 2nd Amendment only creates fields ripe for mass killings. History is replete with examples. Hence, ALL restrictions on the 2nd Amendment MUST be dropped since they don't work to mitigate killings, but actually contribute to killings.

After all, it isn't like background checks worked or were even needed in Parkland. Nearly everyone in the area knew about this crazy kid beforehand that some federal agency likely used as a patsy. Multiple shooters were very likely involved in the tragedy at Parkland as well as Las Vegas as well as ... etc.
