Text of the page (random words):
e do have a very accurate accounting of how many firearms are produced and imported into the country every year the batfe s firearms commerce in the united states annual statistical update provides us that data back to 1986 and then the shooting industry news covers the remainder how can this be so accurate national registries may be outlawed but all new firearms commercially produced must be uniquely serialized and must be declared to the batfe at the end of the year the penalties for fudging numbers are severe we have the yearly production data which means we have the rate of change the slope likewise we have a noticeably less accurate but still considered reliable accounting of the american population and the number of americans who were killed by other people using firearms at the cdc wisqars fatal injury report i refer to this as less accurate because i have personally witnessed the cdc correcting data five years past while i would prefer accurate data over leaving the inaccurate data it annoys me that for example they got the american population wrong by 300 000 residents in one year having to go back and update my data aside we have the yearly numbers of firearm related fatalities which means we can calculate the rate of change in other words i or you can compare the two year paired slopes for each of those data sets or the average slope as a whole or any other combination and it simply does not matter where the firearms data started only the differences between each year s data matters and we have those differences tallied by authoritative sources feel free to play with the situation yourself i have uploaded the spreadsheet for the above graphic and you can fiddle with the numbers to see how things change we genuinely have no idea how many firearms there are in america and that is fine we do know how many have been produced a year for the past 35 years and the only correlation between the change in firearms in america and the change in firearm related fatalities is negative to non existent for both raw numbers and per american rates thus more guns more deaths cannot be true author graphics matter posted on december 4 2019 december 21 2019 categories data tags atf batfe causation cdc centers for disease control correlation fatal injury reports firearm owners protection act graphics matter rate slope small arms survey wisqars leave a comment on fixed points in data graphics matter 2019 edition honestly i m tired of writing these posts because reality does not change no matter the gun control extremists beliefs inanimate objects cannot control a human being s behavior to believe otherwise is pure fetishism but people continue to believe otherwise so here we are as always check out the original version of this post for the series explanation and as always more guns more deaths is not my hypothesis nor does this series of posts mean to prove that more guns fewer deaths instead this series of posts exclusively exists to disprove the notion that more firearms automatically means more fatalities as the aforementioned gun control extremists incessantly erroneously declare my sources include the cdc wisqars fatal injrury report the batfe firearms commerce in the united states annual statistical update 2018 the small arms survey of 2003 radical gun nuttery my data spreadsheet and once again as every time previous the hypothesis of more guns more deaths falls flat on its face now it s absolutely worth noting that the firearm related fatalities are almost as high as their peak back in the early 90s but the us population has grown massively since then meaning the rate of firearm related fatalities is actually down since then relatedly pun intended the correlation between the raw number of firearms in the united states and the raw number of firearm related fatalities in the united states is 0 03268 that is to say there is precisely no correlation which means there cannot be causation and that is a complicated way of saying the number of firearms in america is not driving the number of firearm related deaths in america which brings us to rates and any sociologist knows that rates are much more valuable than raw numbers well the correlation between the rate of firearm ownership that is to say the number of firearms in america divided by the american population and the rate of firearm related fatalities is 0 34575 in other words there is a noticeable negative correlation which again means there cannot be causation look i get it kind of it is literally an article of faith among some people that guns are bad but the data simply does not back that prejudice up and frankly it is kind of disappointing that modern people are still bitterly clinging to the notion that inanimate lumps of metal can affect conscious cognizant humans minds but here we are author graphics matter posted on december 2 2019 december 4 2019 categories data tags batfe causation cdc correlation fetishism firearms

stopdownloadableguns has already failed ok on this the day of one of my favorite things ever the democratization of technology let us have a serious sober ish conversation about this whole stopdownloadableguns stop3dprintedguns hysteria by starting at the beginning and working forward is it legal to make your own firearms absolutely at the federal level to put it the proper way it has never been illegal to produce firearms for your own use do not sell it and do not make an illegal firearm e g an sbr without an appropriate tax stamp but otherwise knock yourself out and designs to build your own firearms at home have existed basically since firearms have existed some of those designs are painfully simple yet frighteningly effective others require a bit more knowledge and tools and still others are literally commercially available all of those concepts take something that is not legally considered a firearm and turn it into something that is legally considered a firearm at home without registration or knowledge of anyone else none of those firearms have to be serialized none of those firearms are traceable and again all of those designs have been available for literal decades and making them is completely legal it is legal to 3d print your own firearms now yup it is entirely legal to print a firearm with a plan you have on your local machine right now even before the whole end of the world thing today so what s the stopdownloadableguns fuss about few years back the state department told an organization called defense distributed that if they continued to distribute firearms plans on the internet they would be in violation of something called the international traffic in arms regulations itar is a pretty complicated topic in its own right but it basically boiled down to defdist and its subsidiary project defcad being shut down the thing is the state department edict exclusively applied to the distribution of the files not the use of the files have them already knock yourself out share them online bad juju as of today defcad has been granted federal permission to share the files as they see fit and the predictable gun control organizations and extremists but i repeat myself are absolutely losing their minds but here is the thing the files are already out there in lots of places and they have been added to over the past few years as the saying goes the internet views censorship as damage and routes around it or you can t stop the signal so all this stopdownloadableguns stop3dprintedguns nonsense about letting horses out of the stable yeah they have been out for six long years they have been multiplying like rabbits and y all done well and truly lost anywise and again this is even ignoring the firearm plans that only use parts from your local home improvement store and have been available for longer than most gun control extremists have been alive can you entirely 3d print a firearm not technically and not legally the technical problem is that firing pins are almost invariably made of metal for a reason you have to set off that primer to in turn set off the powder and plastic just does not have the strength to do that the legal problem is something no joke called the undetectable firearms act this law is literally 30 years old and requires at least 105g of steel in any firearm ever produced anywhere even at home this applies to 3d printed firearms remember that scene in die hard 2 about the mythical glock 7 that was made entirely out of porcelain or something yeah the undetectable firearms act is older than that rendering this whole stopdownloadableguns stop3dprintedguns hysteria ludicrous can you mostly 3d print a firearm short of the firing pin and enough other steel to be legal sure and it is good for about a maximum of ten rounds from what i have seen so far and marginally accurate at five yards if that they are proofs of concepts nothing more so what can you do well for example ar 15 lowers do not have a significant amount of force or temperature applied to them at any given time given appropriate modifications you could totally print a lower that is good for 500 rounds depending on materials and people have been again for literally years the 3d printed ar lower is kind of the holy grail of 3d printed firearm hobbyists and the last iteration i saw was solid drop a lower parts kit in it an upper on it and a stock and it works for a time so what s the point of 3d printing firearms remember democratization of technology the ussr abjectly feared mimeographs and other copy machines simply because they knew they could not control the flow of information and propaganda was and still is essential for socialism to work so hold on is this a second amendment issue or a first amendment issue the end product is definitely protected by the second amendment but the specific situation of whether or not the federal government or any government can control the distribution of information is totally a first amendment issue the stop3dprintedguns folks are literally calling on the government to control what information you can and cannot read this is no different than if the gun control extremists were trying to convince the government to burn all of a specific technical journal yes stopdownloadableguns is morally and logically equivalent to book burning it is censorship pure and simple but even a step beyond simple censorship because they are actively trying to destroy the information and the control of information never works even if the government is involved the case of united states v progressive inc is probably the closest parallel to the current situation and it pertained to publishing plans to a no joke nuclear weapon and guess what the government gave up the case the hilarious story of the rsa munitions t shirt is another example where the fedgov lost 3d printers are the modern day gutenberg movable type press but instead of democratizing knowledge they democratize power 3d printing firearms while still in its infancy today puts the means for people to defend themselves squarely in the hands of the people where it always should have belonged in the first place how the ability to download a file and push a button to produce a functional for various definitions of the word firearm removes licensing and registration and confiscation and all other forms of gun control from the table this is why stopdownloadableguns stop3dprintedguns ninnies fear it so and that is the ultimate irony these folks style themselves as the resistance against the current administration but not only are they wanting to give president trump more power than he constitutionally should have but they want to deny we the people another means of defending ourselves these are frequently if not invariably the same people who decry our current president as literally hitler and they want to remove a rather significant means for the public to defend themselves from being thrown in cattle cars and extermination camps how ludicrous is that well the state department granted them permission but us district judge robert lasnik who appears to be more interested in signaling his virtue than obeying the constitution granted a temporary restraining order against defcad not even judge lasnik can stop the signal though as code is free speech is adequately

robert lasnik ussr you can t stop the signal leave a comment on why stopdownloadableguns has already failed are gun sales down under president trump yet about a year ago i took a look at the notion that firearm sales had gone down during president trump s term the reality gun sales had in fact not gone down and the average nics checks per month during his time in office had already overrun president obama s numbers by about a third well here we are about a year later with a year s more data are firearm sales down yet still nope as before the information i am examining is the nics firearm background checks table published by the fbi every month and also as before there is a very important caveat here nics checks are not a track of the total firearm sales in america for two very significant reasons any number of firearms could be transferred on a single nics checks it could be 1 it could be 10 some states such as north carolina use their carry permit system as a replacement for the nics background check you still have to fill out an atf form 4473 but no nics is run on you at best nics checks can be considered a floor for the data as in no fewer than this many new firearms entered circulation in america on these months years but still as i said last year nics checks are regarded as the primary metric by both the pro rights organization and the gun control extremists so it is still a good if incomplete measure of overall trends and trends are still high in fact those trends are sufficiently high that the drop from the peak month of one year typically december to the low month of the following year typically june or july has been consistently below average for our current president now in fair...
