Quote of the Day
In what may be the most poorly conceived and horribly researched study ever published by The Journal of the American Medical Association during its entire 141-year history, a trio of anti-gun researchers now claims deer hunting is associated with a substantial increase in firearm violence.
To arrive at their laughable conclusion, the authors used data from the infamous Gun Violence Archive, which has been debunked dozens of times and is well known for its shoddy research and biased statistics.
Even the authors admitted there were problems with the GVA data. “Our study relies on shooting data from a single source, the GVA. Data from GVA have been shown to have a bias toward incidents that receive more media attention and do not include comprehensive counts of firearm suicides,” the report states.
Despite these inherent biases, the researchers used the GVA data anyway. They didn’t allow the facts to interfere with their preconceived and biased narrative.

Deer hunting causes gun violence, researchers claim | Armed American News
Of course they didn’t allow facts to interfere with their narrative. This has been the culture of anti-gun people for decades. Perhaps forever.
…”researchers now claims deer hunting is associated with a substantial increase in firearm violence.”
100% of the deer polled agree!
Yup, there also excited about the ammo shortage too.
Hey, when the people paying you will never read the article? Just pay up.
Imagine how much fun you could have if your boss was a shit-for-brains commies with billions of dollars to spend?
Ya, boss, we put out for articles on gun control last week.
Good work, man, have the secretary cut you a check for a million dollars.
We got 8 more in the pipeline. We’ll email them in from the Bahamas.
Good deal, we need to crush those ignorant rednecks.
Don’t you know that facts and logic are sexist, racists, classist, ableist, misogynist, homophobic, and an obvious violent application of the worst sort of Nazi white supremacy! You must be re-educated, Comrade, before you commit more acts of rhetorical violence!.
And just think: if it was published in JAMA, it had to have been peer-reviewed. Which means multiple educated people read it, saw the same problems with the data and methodology, and approved it anyway.
Peer-review was a great experiment, and it has failed spectacularly.
There is a medical journal I think from the UK (“Lancet” if I remember right), that at one time was respected but in recent years transformed itself into a left wing propaganda rag. I wonder if JAMA has gone the same path. It would make sense, given that medical professional organizations these days seem to be seriously into pushing far left propaganda and don’t much care about the practice of medicine any more.
