Turboe,

I read your link. Did I miss the place where the study acknowledged that many other factors were changing during the same period that the gun laws changed? For instance, a decreasing youth population or increase in incarceration rates? Despite the general paranoia about crime evident in the news media these days, murder rates and crime rates overall have been on the downswing over the past decade, and not just in states and counties that have liberalized their right to carry laws. Does the study take this into account? Maybe I missed it, as I read it quickly.

Pat
