QOTD: "Results are presented on Table 1. The CCW dummy variable is significant and positive, but the assault weapons ban is insignificant. Given that the average gun-related murder rate over the period in question was 3.44, the results of the present study indicate that states with more restrictive CCW laws had gun-related murder rates that were 10% higher. In addition, the Federal assault weapons ban is significant and positive, indicating that murder rates were 19.3% higher when the Federal ban was in effect. These results corroborate the findings of Lott and Mustard (1997). These results suggest that, even after controlling for unobservable state and year fixed effects, limiting the ability to carry concealed weapons may cause murder rates to increase. There may, however, be other explanations for these results. Laws may be ineffective due to loopholes and exemptions. The most violent states may also have the toughest gun control measures. Further research is warranted in this area." -- Quinnipiac University’s Mark Gius

    Eric Holder has agreed to sit above a vat of urine while members of the Patriot Party throw baseballs at a 6.66x6.66 square. If they connect he becomes a "Piss Holder" and Uncle Al gets to seal the vat and show him at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
    Go figure.
