After the Las Vegas shootings we will once again have to endure the mindless calls for more gun control of some sort. My challenge is a simple one. If murders were related to gun ownership, wouldn't you expect to see a positive correlation between the two? Why would you advocate restricting the right to freely own guns simply to say you did something that has little likelihood of achieving your goal?
If you went to your boss and told him that you could make the company profitable if only he would fund big pay raises for the salesforce, do you think he would ask for empirical evidence to support that relationship? And if you couldn't provide that evidence, what do you think he should do?
