[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2413423, member: 5151"] When discussing the effects of gun ownership on crime rates, an additional variable of gun ownership rate should be introduced. When discussing the effects of concealed carry on crime rates, an additional variable of concealed carry rate should be introduced. When discussing the effects of open carry on crime rates, an additional variable of open carry rate should be introduced. If those rates aren't also included, then the study is completely invalid. When discussing the relationship between different types of crimes, additional variables regarding the "profit" and "opportunity cost" of those crimes must also be considered. (Profit and opportunity cost in "air quotes" because they do not necessarily relate to finance.) For the sake of argument, this is what a simplistic comparison of FBI crime rates vs Brady Ranking looks like, with all states, with the top/bottom 5 rankings removed, and top/bottom 5 rates (fliers, most of which happen to occur in the middle) removed.
