Could you possibly spin any MORE desperately?
"A new study finds that murder and suicide rates did not drop any faster in states that had to toughen their laws to comply with the 1994 Brady Act to regulate handguns."
But in fact they dropped across the board...
"But Ludwig acknowledged that the research was not designed to analyze the Brady Act’s indirect impact on what is known as the secondary gun market — gun sales by unlicensed dealers — which experts say is the source of a significant number of weapons used in crimes.
The findings show “the importance of extending regulations like the Brady Act to secondary market sales,” Ludwig said. "
But go ahead and spin. The deperation shows.
