@Dicky_Paul_95 re the 300 drop attributed to C68 (1995). C68 licencing came into force ~2001, and registration ~2003. But the 300 drop was 1995-2000. C68 didn't cause that drop of ~300.

@Dicky_Paul_95 The Gagné (2008) report on Quebec DOES NOT CONTROL for ANY factors. That is the main problem with that study, especially since the advent of SSRI (antidepressant) medication is initiated in Canada at the same time as the Firearms Act.

@Docs4GunControl @CCFR_CCDAF @TorontoStar The pamphlets the CCFR volunteers handed out in the GTA were 16 pages long, with only one sentence about firearms and no firearms pictures. They said vote Anything But Liberal. The CCFR television advertisements were only on WildTV, a subscription only hunting channel.

@jkwan_md May 15, 0-17 data also at https://t.co/bcjTWKNO0O which cites source as "COVID-19 immunization data were based on information successfully extracted from the Ontario Ministry of Health’s COVaxON application"

@jkwan_md 0-17 data on May 15 for Ontario at https://t.co/3QH6gt9Zm7

[Bobbie Wilson @BobbieWilson22]

@jkwan_md Good point. That chart assumes that everyone getting vaccinated is an adult. The source is the * near the bottom, which doesn't separate. At the moment the 12-17 vaccinations are relatively few, so the error is low. But that error will get worse as more 12-17 get vaccinated.

@bizclouder @jkwan_md That calc is for >= 1 dose. Including those who have received two doses. We must remove the 2nd dose to avoid double counting those individuals. If you multiplied by 2, you would be missing all those who have received both doses, & only count those who have received only 1 dose.

@janbear105 @CCFR_CCDAF Canadian support is thin. When you ask followup questions about effectiveness or costs, support drops well under 50%. People knowledgeable about current laws vote 80% against the current ban (angus, government survey). Mob rule is always a disaster.

[Bobbie Wilson @BobbieWilson22]

@Docs4GunControl It was an interesting study. But the quote that Docs found was a stupid statement. It's like saying we should ban aircraft because there are air crashes, when its the safest way to travel. Ban travel? Cost/benefit

[Bobbie Wilson @BobbieWilson22]

@Docs4GunControl That study gets the causation precisely backwards. The quote Docs4 likes is not supported by the rest of the document. Bias is shown because of the wrong causation assumption, and bias is shown because despite the several citations they missed ones that negate several statements.

@JoshMatlow @kristynwongtam 4/4 Community Support programs that do anything other than these three things are a waste. Be warned, this is what happened when you cut police.

@JoshMatlow @kristynwongtam 3/4 Raising awareness about gang life is key to deterrence, as was the building of strong connections between youth, their parents, families, schools and the community.

[Bobbie Wilson @BobbieWilson22]

@JoshMatlow @kristynwongtam 2/4 The best way to do that is to find out what employers want, and pay to train potential gang members in those fields. Getting hired is far easier when there's a demand.

[Bobbie Wilson @BobbieWilson22]

@JoshMatlow @kristynwongtam 1/4 The most successful way for people to leave gangs is to get a real or legal job. But the jobs would need to provide enough money to roughly match the money made from being in a gang.
