Abstract

Fridel recently published a macro-level panel study of firearms homicide rates and counts of mass shootings, and concluded that higher gun ownership rates increase the number of mass shootings, and that more permissive laws on gun carrying increase the firearms homicide rate. The conclusions are unreliable because the study repeated the most important methodological errors identified in prior research.

关于枪支和暴力的有缺陷研究的持续活力：对弗里德尔的评论（2020）

摘要

弗里德尔最近发表了一项关于枪支凶杀率和大规模枪击事件数量的宏观小组研究，并得出结论认为，较高的枪支拥有率会增加大规模枪击事件的数量，而更宽松的枪支携带法律会增加枪支凶杀率。结论不可靠，因为该研究重复了先前研究中发现的最重要的方法学错误。
