Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, an author of the concealed handgun bill when he was in the legislature.
A group of doctors and social scientists called The Task Force on Community Preventive Services (the Task Force) has studied the effectiveness of firearms laws in preventing violence and has submitted a paper on their findings.
Studies of the following firearms laws were included in the review: bans on specified firearms or ammunition; restrictions on firearms acquisition; waiting periods for firearms acquisition; firearms registration; licensing of firearms owners; "shall issue" carry laws that allow people who pass background checks to carry concealed weapons; child access prevention laws; zero tolerance laws for firearms in schools; and combinations of firearms laws.
The Task Force found the evidence available from identified studies was insufficient to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws reviewed singly or in combination.

Yes,it seems that innate good sense does not exist in some people.Anyone that requires a study to comprehend why a gun is called an "equalizer"--"may not have enough sense to come in out of the rain".Ah,yes old sayings;what fun they can be.
How true they are,since they are self-evident and do not require explanation.
These are the same people who accept postulates,as not needing explanation.
