New York Times: FAIL - Who'd of Thought?
Ann Coulter - January 9, 2013 - DOING THE RESEARCH THE NEW YORK TIMES WON'T DO
In Sunday's New York Times, Elisabeth Rosenthal claimed, as the title of her article put it, "More Guns = More Killing." She based this on evidence that would never be permitted in any other context at the Times: (1) anecdotal observations; and (2) bald assertions of an activist, blandly repeated with absolutely no independent fact-checking by the Times.
There is an academic, peer-reviewed, long-term study of the effect of various public policies on public, multiple shootings in all 50 states over a 20-year period performed by renowned economists at the University of Chicago and Yale, William Landes and John Lott. It concluded that the only policy to reduce the incidence of, and casualties from, mass shootings are concealed-carry laws. The Times will never mention this study.
She does have a way with words. :lolp:
So there you have it: The cock crowed, then the sun came up. Therefore, the cock's crowing caused the sun to come up. Rosenthal went to Harvard Medical School.
Please do not turn this into a "Coulter Bashing" or "Hate Coulter" Thread. :rofl: Even if she has Pterodactyl-like arms. :35:

Interesting, I just did my own "study" on the success of Australia's gun ban, comparing it to Texas...
And they have had mass murders in Oz since the ban. One with a gun... One with an arson...
