Short thread:
Yet another misleading thread from @Docs4GunControl. Here they attempt to cherry pick some studies to prove a point... while dismissing the evidence as a whole- conveniently found on their very own website.

Many already have read my review of the studies. The evidence, as a whole, does not support gun bans. Even the studies they cherry picked mostly go no further than supporting licensing, and certainly not bans. https://twitter.com/dicky_paul_95/status/1341794479007739905
I notice 
is rarely relied upon by the Docs, likely because an honest read of the available data indicates the 1996 ban’s effect was negligible at best. I previously provided some studies, some posted on the Docs own website, that indicated the gun ban did not work. https://twitter.com/dicky_paul_95/status/1342136365597794306

The reliance on the 2016 Chapman and Alpers study is common among gun-control advocates. The only studies findings a positive effect of the gun ban are mostly written by these two. Here’s a rebuttal paper... that destroys their credibility IMHO.

They love bringing up gun suicides, but never cite the available 
studies (that are available on their website) that clearly indicates gun suicides have been declining, and gun legislation did not affect overall suicide rates. Victims switched to other methods.

In conclusion, more misinformation from doctors blinded by bias.
