Be reasonable; all social science studies have that flaw. So we look for correlations.

[gonvaled]

No, we do not: "correlation does not imply causation"

And to top it: there is a strong correlation of fewer guns and less violence (Europe vs USA)

[JoeAltmaier]

Cherry picking! There are plenty of places with fewer guns and more violence, and where it makes no difference.

[gonvaled]

I am not implying that less guns means less violence, since "correlation does not imply causation". I am merely pointing to you that if you wanna cherry-pick your correlations (which mean nothing), I'll cherry-pick mines.
