Stanford research shows right-to-carry gun laws are linked to an increase in violent crime.
But, I mean, come on. It’s Stanford. Nobody considers that school a leading research institution.
Stanford research reaffirms that right-to-carry gun laws are connected with an increase in violent crime. This debunks – with the latest empirical evidence – earlier claims that more guns actually lead to less crime.
The strongest evidence was for aggravated assault, with data suggesting that right-to-carry (RTC) laws increase this crime by an estimated 8 percent – and this may actually be understated, according to the researchers.

May I ask how RTC laws increase violent crime? Are the CCW holders doing the crime or is it just a mere correlation?
You’ll have to post that question to the Stanford researchers who published the report.
